Fifi

New York: Simon and Schuster, 1940. First Edition. First Printing. Tall quarto (31cm); pictorial paper-covered boards; cat and dog patterned endpapers; dustjacket; [46]pp; illus. Wear to spine ends and upper corners, some insect damage to lower board edges (resulting in some spotty board exposure), though contents are immaculate; Very Good+. Dustjacket is price-clipped, gently sunned and modestly worn, with a few tiny nicks, tears, and creases, and a faint trace of insect damage to rear flap fold and extremities; Very Good. First and only edition of this title, which has not been reprinted since 1940 (perhaps owing to the racist and stereotypical depictions of native Ugandans throughout the story).
