1941 · MrJonesFinnigan — <p><strong>Mr. Jones and Mr. Finnigan </strong>by Eva Knox Evans and Erick Berry Hardcover First Edition - First Printing Oxford: Oxford University Press 1941. $1.00 cover price. Tan cloth with jacket. Fully illustrated with both b&w and four-color images/pictures. Scarce children's book about the virtues of eating in moderation. Mr. Finnigan is an overweight glutton and his friend Mr. Jones eats in moderation. As the story progresses Mr. Jones begins behaving like his friend and starts getting fat! </p><p>Essentially Near Fine in Very Good Dust Jacket. Book is solid and clean with the occasional spot here and there. Chip to the lower spine and nicks and repaired tears to the jacket which is typical of most children's books published prior to circa 1980. A nice example of what appears to be a very uncommon if not scarce children's book and desirable in its original dust jacket. I could find very little information about this book.</p><p>NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.</p><p>ALSO: The pictures are of the actual item for sale. The pictures are NOT stock photos.</p><p><u>IMPORTANT NOTE</u>: All sales are generally FINAL. I do NOT accept returns because of buyer's remorse "it was a gift but the recipient already had it" or "I found the same book at a better price". I do not base my pricing on other retailers' offerings as each book is priced considering both edition and condition. Returns are only accepted in the remote possibility discrepancies regarding edition and/or condition were not fulling described of which I try to be very thorough in researching the edition/printing as well as describing ALL condition issues. So make sure you're 100% positive you desire one of my items before making a purchase.</p><p><br /><br /></p> Oxford University Press hardcover
