Rufus

New York: Harper & Brothers, 1961. Near Fine/Very Good. Tomi Ungerer. The 1961 correct 1st edition (with the "$2.95" price and the "40/80" and "0961" codes along the front dustjacket flap) of this beloved Tomi Ungerer tale of Rufus the bat. Clean and Near Fine in a crisp, VG dustjacket, with several small closed tears along the panel edges and light chipping at the spine ends. Still though, a very presentable copy. Tall quarto, wonderfully illustrated thruout in rich color by the maestro Tomi Ungerer.
