NOTHING

New York: Hyperion Books for Children, 2007. First edition. Fine in near fine dust jacket.. Signed first printing of this rather conceptual examination of the literal value of NOTHING in the modern world. Jon Agee studied painting and animation at the Cooper Union, an education evident in his bold illustrations – he imbues even inanimate objects with a sense of motion through his sketchy outlines. His affinity for the absurd makes for delightful reading. 11.75'' x 9''. Original white boards. Original unclipped ($16.99) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in color. [16] leaves. Signed by Agee to title page. Dust jacket with tiny tape repair to inside of front flap hinge. Clean and bright.
