Son of the Black Stallion Walter Farley HC 1st Edition/1st Printing 1947 Rare

Description: Son of the Black Stallion (2nd Black Stallion book) by Walter Farley Illustrated by Milton Menasco Hardcover First Edition - First Printing Random House 1947. States "First Printing" on the copyright page. Price-clipped on the dust jacket flap. Appears quite rare in the first printing. The rarest of course being a first printing of the first book "The Black Stallion". At this writing I could only find one other first printing copy of "Son of the Stallion". For the first book in the first printing prices begin at $4000. Near Fine+ in Very Good Price-Clipped Dust Jacket although there is a title and price on the lower back flap. An exceptionally rare copy of the first printing, not often available. Former owner bookplate on the inside of the front board. The book itself is quite nice: boards clean, corners straight, some aging to the boards and a bit of toning to the text-block, and a hint of separation at the title page but still holding well. The dust jacket is fairly nice, but not perfect. Some fraying to the top and bottom and some discoloration here and there but still a fairly nice and presentable copy not often found in the first printing. Priced to sell. NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.ALSO: The pictures are of the actual item for sale. (The pictures are NOT stock photos.)

I am not selling new items but collectible items priced based on current availability, generally going prices and demand.

In general I do NOT sell bookclub editions or cheap reprints like Modern Library except in rare instances which would be explicitly stated as such. In general, I also DO NOT sell x-library copies.If the book is both a first edition AND a first printing, it will be marked as “first edition” in the Item Specifics under “Special Attributes”, otherwise assume a later printing or a later edition.

All books are bubble-wrapped, and those costing over $50 will be placed in a box. My shipping costs are slightly more than others because I use dust jacket covers, bubble-wrap, and boxes. The extra $1 or so is worth it to protect your book!FYI, media mail is a discount shipping rate for books and CD's. It is not the same as first class mail, and you can't expect items to arrive in the same time frame. They typically take 1 1/2 to 3 weeks. Items shipped media mail take longer than a letter which is first class.PLEASE contact me if you would like a reduction in shipping costs for multiple purchases sent to a single address.
