Very Good. Collectible copy inscribed to author/poet/illustrator Nancy Willard and signed by both the author Arthur Yorinks and the illustrator Richard Egielski. Hardcover with jacket, third printing stated. Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York, 1984. Inscription on ffep, "For Nancy Willard, to enjoy! With best wishes. There's also a small post-it attached to the same page that reads "For Nancy-In the Year of the Fish". No other marks or writing, binding is sound. Clean dark blue cloth boards with light blue gilt title on the spine. Jacket is not price-clipped and shows only light shelf wear with no rips or chipping, ISBN 0374346585 printed on back flap but not in book itself. Jacket, possibly from the earlier 1980 edition is now in protective Brodart. This particular third edition is rare, with only one copy showing up in OCLC Worldcat located in the University of South Carolina's Rare Books & Special Collections. I personally am of the opinion that this inscribed association copy of the tale in which "An unhappy butcher from Flatbush finally achieves happiness" is rather special indeed!
