Item Description
.25x9.25” Whitman Big Big Book No. 4062 ©1935. Full title is “The Story Of Mickey Mouse And The Smugglers.” This is the first cover version depicting Minnie reading this book to Mickey, cover was later revised with an illustration of them on a ship’s deck. As noted on title page “Over 150 Pictures To Color” although none have been colored. First inside blank page has been boldly signed in black felt tip pen by Floyd Gottfredson. The book features his art. Scattered trace of cover wear includes some color rubs and light soiling. Cover remains bright with strong color. Fine. Contents have typical aging but remain totally clean and VF. The only Gottfredson signed copy of this book we have ever seen. A classic Mickey book further enhanced by Gottfredson signature.
