Presumed first edition, with no later printings mentioned, and definitely NOT the common Weekly Reader Book Club edition. Original ble cloth binding, protected in a clear, mylar sleeve. A crack in the internal front hinge, but still solid. A couple small page tears along the bottom edges, and a bit of age toning. But still a rare gem of this classic Little Toot tale. And a child has printed his name on the reverse of the front endpaper.
