Young, Chic
BLONDIE PAINT BOOK with Dagwood, Baby Dumpling and Daisy
: RacineRacine: Whitman Publishing Company #605, 1940, . . , , Very Good. Quarto--from 9?" to 12" tall. Pseudonym of Murat Young. A colouring/painting book featuring characters from the cartoonist's ageless comic strip. Quarto, stiff card wraps, unpaginated (140+). No pages are coloured, marked or used in any way, nor has any previous owner scribbled his name inside. It seems virtually impossible to find this item in any condition; to find it uncoloured is remarkable. A 1&1/2" tear to top edge of front cover, two 1/4" tears (one each to fore-edge and bottom edge), thin creases to corner tips, tear to top edge of first ten or so pages (tear begins at 3/4" at title page, and decreases in length through successive pages), 3/8" tear to fore-edge of title page, tip of bottom left corner of back cover chipped off (about 1/4" either way), foxing to back cover, "Blondie 1940" written in neat block letters on spine, foxed pages, moderate general wear. Internally tight and clean.; . , , , .
