Item Description
This is the first licensed publication. 9x12”, complete with all 16 pages. By Bibo & Lang ©1930. This is a second to fourth printing, these printings are indistinguishable from one another. However, we know it is not a first printing because there are Winn Smith Mickey daily strips on page 8 and back cover, the words “Printed In U.S.A.” on the front cover and age of Bobbette Bibo specified on the title page. Typically found with pages 9-10 removed but this complete copy has these pages intact. Featured on page 9 are “Mickey Mouse Pawns” cut-outs to be used with “Mickey Mouse Journey” gameboard that appears on page 7. The rest of the book features a Mickey Mouse story of how he met Walt and got his name, song title “Mickey Mouse You Cute Little Feller,” nice illustrations throughout including two which are full page. Cover has light scattered trace of dust soiling, very light edge wear with some tiny pinch creases along spine. Overall cover remains bright and clean, Fine. Just light trace of aging/wear to contents but all quite clean and VF. A very nice copy of this classic Disney book. Overstreet value in Fine =$5,000, VF = $10,000.
