8vo. Illustrations in the text after Kurt Weise. Original green cloth, gilt-lettered spine (spine lightly darkened, some light soiling to covers).

FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, LIMITED ISSUE, ONE OF 1000 COPIES, issued in advance of the regularly published edition, in slightly smaller format with smaller type size. On the page facing p.1 of the text is printed: "From the Inner Sanctum of Simon and Schuster... This is a first edition copy of Bambi. A thousand copies have been printed and bound. None are for sale. The Inner Sanctum thinks that Bambi will ultimately have a large sale, and hopes that a copy of this edition will not only be pleasant to read, but of possible increased value at a future time. The regular trade edition will appear in the near future. It will be printed in 12 point Caslon type (instead of 11 point, used in this edition) and will be a full 12mo in format..."

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition.
