Ruth Plumly Thompson (famed author of the Oz book series after the death of L. Frank Baum): The Perhappsy Chaps. Profusely illustrated in both full color and black-and-white, by Arthur Henderson. Publisher, P.F. Volland Company. Copyright 1918. Cover is paper-covered boards, illustrated in color on front and back. Endpapers illustrated in color. 1st and only Edition. Rare in this condition, especially with slipcase ( restored).

Condition of book is Very Good+. Cover shows only minor wear. Colors in cover illustrations are beautiful and bright. Spine has a couple of horizontal splits in the paper covering but is completely intact, which is especially unusual for this vintage title. Binding is tight, hinges are tight. Endpapers are age-darkened. No handwriting in book, and no coloring. Tiny old bookseller's sticker on front fixed endpaper, which could be easily removed. No torn pages. Pages are near-immaculate. Final text page, which is an advertisement for Volland books, is lightly foxed. No mildew or other odor. Very very nice book with absolutely charming illustrations-- one of the most difficult-to-find Thompson titles and an important acquisition for collectors of Oziana.
