Condition:  The dust jacket has been clipped & therefore does not show the original $2.50 price on the inside flap.  The dust jacket shows wear especially around the edges & shows a bit or discoloration (aging) to the creases of the inside flaps.  It has done well in protecting the cover & spine of the book over the years.  They show minimal wear.  The inside is clean - no writing, torn or missing pages noted.  This edition is tightly bound.  There are creases in the first few pages of the book including the half title page & title pages.  This crease can be seen in the photos below.  There are a few age spots (foxing) noted on the foredges.  The title page has a small mark near the bottom against the spine.  Please be sure to view all photos as they are part of the visual description of this book.

This is a stated first edition with I-B printed under the words First Edition on the copyright page.  This was a code used by Harpers & Brothers to signify when the book was published.  In this case it refers to the date:  I = September and B = 1952.

Charlotte's Web was a Newbery Honor Book in 1953.
