Exploring with Beebe: Selections for younger readers from the writing of William Beebe (signed)
NY: GP Putnam's Sons, 1932. First edition. Hardcover. Inscribed on the half-title page: "Inscribed for Jean Klienes [sp?] by William Beebe." Uncommon signed.

A near fine book in brilliant blue cloth with gilt lettering and a blue topstain. Spine faded and with a dust smudge to corner of lower text block face. Lacking the dust jacket. Near fine. Item #1038
