Fabulous originals. Though you may need to be careful handling them. Not to be an alarmist, but often blue lux covers in this time were dyed and treated with lead and or arsenic. It’s wasn’t sinister and it would not be seriously concerning with minimal handling, but you should wash your hands after handling it and certainly do not put them in your mouth. So, not for children to handle. But I can’t say for certain with these particular classics. Love love them. Thanks for sharing.
Pom, I can't thank you enough for this video. As a collector interested in the Milne titles this was exactly what I needed. I can't believe how rare the vellum copy is! In my opinion the trade versions are much more appealing as objects. I love the jacket designs.
Great info but an estimation of value would be helpful too. I cringe every time you slide that box or a book or stand those others up so the dust jackets can chip. I was also expecting white gloves.
I'm with you on sliding everything around, although i'd think it just causes more wear on the jackets than potential chipping. White gloves are always a hotly contented point of discussion, but a fair number of institutions and other antiquarian dealers including myself like to avoid wearing them when handling rare books.
@@Meepers100 what about storing a rare book in a case made by CGA? I was thinking about it for book I have: cgagrading.com/OnlineStore/Catalog.aspx?CategoryID=5
Hi, great video, i am in search of the number of p1st addition prints for Pooh Corner. You mentioned 35K for When we WereYoung for example but didn't mention the number for Pooh Corner. Thank you.

AA Milne’s WINNIE THE POOH is a century old today.

I just found a 1st Edition of the Christopher Robin Story Book at a thrift shop for $6 in amazing condition. now I'm tempted to collect the others.
I was given a 26th Edition published in 1941 a few years ago . I am holding onto it ,lol.
I love these books!
How many copies of the trade edition house at pooh corner were printed?
