Publisher: Little, Brown, and Company - Boston
Audience: Children (ages 5–9), read-aloud families, homeschool & collectors
Condition: Cover & spine wear noted especially around the edges. There is writing on the inside covers in all three editions. No other writing noted. The inside cover pages have been removed from two of the books (probably removing an address). No other missing pages noted - please note these two pages are typically blank pages and therefore, none of the story is missing. All books are tightly bound, however there may be few loose pages at the beginning of the books due to the inside coves being removed. Don't let a bit of wear detract you from purchasing these wonderful stories - the outsides are still solid, and the stories are still worth reading over and over again. Peter Cottontail does have some water marks on the first few pages of the book at the top.
