Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling first edition (first state), 1902. Published by Macmillan and Co. This is the original first addition with the white flaking off. On the spine where it reads "Just So Stories" and "Rudyard Kipling' it appears a previous owner has attempted to touch up the white paint loss as is seen in the photo of the spine. There are two faceplates, one inside the front cover and the second on the back of the free-front page.The cover edges are slightly worn.There is some slight browning throughout, more so on early pages. illustrations are excellent. 247 pps
