About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1978. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good +/Very Good. This is a first printing of the first edition, with a complete number line. The interior of the book is crisp and clean, showing no marks, and just a few signs of previous use. The yellow cloth covers are fresh, with just a bit of wear visible at tips and corners. The dust jacket is not price-clipped, and is in Very Good condition. It has light edgewear and handling, and small brown spots on the back panel. The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover and looks very nice. Synosis: This is a picture-book about Louis James, a little boy who skipped school because he hated everything about school except gymn and recess. He didn't even know how to read or spell when he decided to quit school and get a job. "First he applied as a pilot for a sky-writing company. But he soon found out that there's nothing to beat making your mistakes really big. ... Louis James' job hunting goes from the embarrassingly bad to the hilariously horrendous as the determined drop-out discovers for himself the real value of reading and spelling, whether in school or out.
