Description: Ward, Lynd(A/I): The Biggest Bear ** Caldecott Winner ** HB/DJ 1st/Early Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1952 This is not a first edition because it does not have 1952 on the title page. This is probably an early 1960s edition, especially because of the Christmas description from 1964. The book is in VG+ condition. The book shows some handling and some spotting. The clipped jacket is in VG+ condition with some small missing pieces and a few closed tears. There is a Christmas inscription on the front end paper. The book has 4 square corners and other than noted, there is no writing or marks in the book.This is not a remainder, book club or ex-library copy. The binding is straight and tight. Please note: The picture(s) are of the actual item for sale. (Pictures are NOT stock photos.) If the book has a dust jacket: (1) The dust jacket is protected in a Brodart to ensure that it remains in the best possible condition. (2) The Brodarted dust jacket is not taped to the book. (3) When we take a picture of a book (or make a scan), it may cause a glare on the plastic of the Brodart. This is not a defect in the book or jacket; it is just a reflection off the Brodart.

DEFINITIONS “First” thus refers to the first printing of a new edition of a book. TPB refers to a trade paperback edition. Trade paperbacks are oversized paperback editions. PBO (Paperback Original) means this is a first edition/first printing paperback, which is also the first time this book was published (the true first edition of this book). ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) means this was a limited edition paperback (usually paperback) copy of a soon to be released hard back book. BOOK GRADING GUIDE Because hobbies have different words for describing conditions, Id like to tell you how I grade the collectibles I sell. Books are graded with the ABA standard in mind. That means books range from G (good) to Fine. I dont use a VFN or any form of Mint to describe a book. A book that is NF (near fine) can also be thought of as almost new. A full list of typical conditions ranges from: G, VG, VG+, VG+/NF, NF, to FN
