Hardbound 12o in publisher's pictorial clothbacked paper binding. No dust jacket, as issued. An unusually fresh copy with only mildly soiled boards and a few minimal, weak spots. Tiny marks to corners. Very fresh spine but with a couple of hardly visible minimal holes (pinhead) at hinges. Text as always with mildly browned margins, else crisp with no names or spots. A near fine copy of this fragile book. 192 p.
Pippi Longstocking goes on board is the second book in the series of three books about Pippi Långstrump. It was published only one year after Pippi Långstrump. There are two printings of this title dated the same year, 1946. This is the true first edition, even though a text on rear panel says 26th thousend. All copies have that text on rear panel. But the first printing has no mention of the illustrators name at all. The second printing has Ingrid Wang-Nymans name on title-page.
