SOLD $1,095.00 Sold: May 6, 2025 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
COMPLETE STORY OF WALT DISNEY'S SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFSOne of the holy grails for Disneyana collectors, the first edition of the first book based on the Walt Disney classic, issued in one rather small edition by Harper & Brothers in 1937. This tall volume is illustrated throughout with scenes from the film, half of them reproduced in vivid color. The book is complete with the elusive dustjacket and remains in quite good condition. The jacket has some general handling, as seen in the photos, including a 3/4" tear at the spine top, closed with archival tape on the reverse; the $2.00 price is intact on the front flap. The book itself is clean and sharp, with minor shelfwear at the top and bottom edges; firm binding; bookplate of silent film producer George Winkler affixed inside the front cover. The interior is otherwise very nice, a little toned with age but with minimal signs of handling. Certainly above average for a children's book of this age, made especially valuable by the scarce dustjacket. At present there is one other jacketed copy for sale online, listing for $7,500.00.Measures 9.75" X 12.5", 80 pages. Ships promptly & securely.
