Item Description
3.5x3.5" softcover BLB-style book by Whitman. ©1934. Front cover features Mickey Mouse, back cover text reads "Merry Christmas To You From Santa Claus At Macy's." In this book Mickey and Minnie Mouse travel to New York City on a passenger plane. Their adventure includes a tour of New York which ends at Macy's where they are turned into balloons for the parade. In the end they meet Santa Claus in the toy department. 1934 was the first appearance of Disney balloons in a Macy's Parade and was heavily promoted by them including the use of this book as a premium. Covers show tiny trace of edge wear but cover remains bright and clean. Tight copy w/only slightest aging to contents. VF. A rare book in even rarer high grade condition, the nicest copy we have ever offered or seen in our 47 years. As noted in Overstreet, this ranks #2 on the top 20 BLB and related books list, w/less than 20 copies known. Guides at $1,125 Fine and $3,600 VF/NM. The few copies we have offered in the past (in just Good to VG condition) have still sold for as much as $765.
