Description
The House at Pooh Corner
A.A Milne First edition
Methuen & Co publishers 1928 London
A very clean example of a first edition with original dust jacket, plastic covering over dust jacket for protection.
Last time listing on Trademe, otherwise selling on eBay, so bid if you want this book.
Some light marking on the dust jacket and a bit dirty around the edges but not too bad. Book itself a little faded on the cover but as to be expected with age. Some minor staining on the first couple of pages. Just wanting to be accurate with condition but make no mistake this is a very nice near fine copy of this first edition.
A rare opportunity to acquire a first edition of this book.
Please see photos for details and be free to ask any questions and I’ll try my best to answer.

What are the giant red letters and numbers inside the cover please? 2**********s (87 • 9:42 pm, Thu, 16 MayGood question. I opened up the dust cover and the paper brand reads Adaptatoll which is a brand of paper specially made that helps preserve the dust jacket. On the outside of the just jacket there is also a plastic cover to keep it in good condition for years to come. Thanks sterlinglustre (134 • Thursday, 16 May 2024Thank you. It is not clear from photo but on dust cover, inside back, directly under "When We Were Very Young, the true first edition states 179th Thousand. Does the copy you are selling state this number please? )I can't quite see in the photo you supplied) And please also clarify, is the top of spine nicked with paper missing? 2**********s (87 • 7:59 pm, Mon, 20 MayDust jacket reads 189th Thousand so I guess that’s the second printing of the first edition, slight bit of wear around the top of the dust jacket on the spine area. sterlinglustre (134 • Monday, 20 May 2024I appreciate your detailed answers, thank you. Had it have stated 179th thus been first edition, first printing, and not had the bit of wear around the top I would have considered the price you ask. Ebay has these for sale, including the first U.S editions popular with American buyers, so, although rare, their ready available reduces desirability. Are you willing to offer a reduced price I wonder? 2**********s (87 • 9:21 pm, Mon, 20 MayWhat is your offer? sterlinglustre (134 • Monday, 20 May 2024
