Description: PELLE'S NEW SUIT Author and illustrator: Elsa Beskow Translator: Marion Letcher Woodburn Beskow was one of the foremost Swedish author /artists of children's books at the turn of the 20th century. Pelle shears the wool from a sheep he takes care of. Then in a series of trades of doing chores for other people, they help him with all the steps necessary to transform that wool into a new coat. I know this book isn't in the greatest condition, but I love Beskow's work and collect it in any format - vintage or reprint. This book was bought used and is in acceptable condition. I take very good care of my books in my smoke-free environment. Dust jacket: None (as issued) Binding: paper-over-boards with gray cloth spine shows moderate to heavy dirt and wear with several stains on back, hard rubbing top and bottom of spine with cloth fraying, hard rubbing to outside corners with board exposure Interior pages: lightly soiled and moderately discolored from aging, no rips, former owner's name in ink front end paper Binding is secure - but delicate - no loose pages; near full-length tear to cloth along middle of spine; binding tape separated from first page at top four-inch length If you are super sensitive to odors, this book would probably smell a bit musty to you.

I am happy to combine shipping to save my buyers money. Books can easily be combined and pack well together. Media mail is a very affordable rate offered by the USPS. Cost is based solely on weight and not on distance. If buying multiple books, please put them in your cart and then "request total from seller". I will then send you an invoice with an adjusted shipping cost. However, I have been told that if you are ordering from a phone, it may not be possible to request such a total. If that is your situation, please go ahead and pay the shipping as billed. Then, when I process your order, I will calculate the difference between shipping paid versus actual cost, and refund you any difference. Thanks for looking!
