Description:
First edition, first impression (Collins Clear-Type Press: London and Glasgow, 1958). Signed and inscribed by the author to the front endpaper: "To Nina, with best wishes, Michael Bond". The dedicatee is Nina Froud who was a personal friend of the author and worked at his literary agency. The first book in the Paddington series where one of the most iconic and beloved British fictional characters first appeared, later going on to form the basis of several ongoing TV and successful film adaptations. Publisher's original red cloth with silver lettering to spine containing illustrations by Peggy Fortnum. A beautiful, fine and pristine book throughout, save for a touch of off-setting to endpapers. Appears unread. The original complete dust jacket is not price-clipped and is in unusually superior condition with a chip to spine head - not affecting any lettering - and a closed tear to top of upper panel fore-edge with a couple of tiny and inconspicuous nicks to the top edge of lower panel. A very rare…

Description:
London, Collins, 1958. . First edition; 8vo (207 x 144 mm); a little light spotting to fore-edges; publisher's coral cloth, lettered in silver, illustrated dust-jacket, short tear to foot of rear flap, small chip to base of rear panel, which also has some faint spotting that is also just evident on the fore-edge but in all, a near-fine, exceptionally bright and unrestored copy. The debut of a certain bear from Peru with a penchant for marmalade sandwiches, a near-fine copy.'I bought a small toy bear on Christmas Eve 1956. I saw it left on a shelf in a London store and felt sorry for it. I took it home as a present for my wife Brenda and named it Paddington as we were living near Paddington Station at the time. I wrote some stories about the bear, more for fun than with the idea of having them published. After ten days I found that I had a book on my hands. It wasn't written specifically for children, but I think I put into it the kind things I liked reading about when I was young' (The Author).

Description:
London: Collins, 1958. First edition, first printing. Published by Collins in London, 1958. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper is markedly clean with some very slight creasing present. There is rubbing to the top edge and slight separation to the top and tail of the spine. There are very slight handling marks to the rear panel and a slight chip to the bottom edge. There is also an area of separation to the edge of the rear board. It has not been price clipped, showing the original 8s. 6d. net price. The boards are generally bright and clean but the spine is slightly sunned. They are free from notable chips and marks. The front fly leaf is toned and it is free from previous owners ink. Overall, this is a near fine copy of a fine title. The first title in the Paddington Bear series.
