MOTHER GOOSE Twenty Nursery Rhymes.
San Francisco: Grabhorn-Hoyem, 1970. First edition thus. Each brief Mother Goose rhyme is accompanied by a small but elaborately detailed illustration by Van Aver. Colophon states 300 copies but Harlan's Grabhorn-Hoyem bibliography notes there were only 200 copies and that of those only "a few" were bound in blue decorated boards. This copy is one of those few in blue but without the printed spine labels as called for by Harlan. 4to 1/4 medium-blue cloth with light-blue paper boards printed in darker blue. Cloth at spine slightly toned otherwise near fine.
