NY, Epstein & Carroll, (1961). Juster's wildly successful first book, a now-classic fantasy adventure tale illustrated by Juster's housemate at the time, Jules Feiffer. This copy is inscribed by Juster to the founder of a literacy nonprofit -- "Lovely to be one of your books" -- and is also signed by Feiffer. Slight spine lean; small spot to upper spine; possible pencil markings at the lower edge of the text block. Still a near fine copy in a good, supplied, price-clipped dust jacket with internal and external tape repairs. [#036570] $3,500
