![]() ![]() ![]() This manuscript for Silverstein's first "children's" book comprises 76 pages of original drawings and text including a title page identifying the author/illustrator as well as the imprint of the forthcoming volume: "Simon and Schuster * New York * 1961." Folio (12 x 9 inches) leaves with designs chiefly on one side only (leaves often glued back-to-back, though many now separated, glue residue "bleeding" through the outer margins of most leaves), plus pink paper (pasted down on black paper) “covers” with manuscript lettering on the front cover ("Uncle Shelby's ABZ book by Shel the Sheller") and "by Uncle Shelby" handwritten in the lower left corner of the rear cover (the covers may have been at some point attached to each other as their is some chipping along edges and light spotting). Original holograph manuscript for the book published by Simon & Schuster in 1961. ![]()
