Description: Listing covers 2 WHITMAN TELL-TALE BOOKS: ROCKETY-BOOM by Betty Ren Wright, illustrated by FLORIAN. Dated 1953. And, LITTLE CHUFF-CHUFF and BIG STREAMLINER Story by Robert Barr, Jr, with pictures by Cathrine BarrDated 1950. Each book measures right at 5-1/2" W X 6-1/2" T CONDITION: INTERIOR: All pages are clean, unmarked, untorn and uncreased. I do not see any stains or markings. The only discoloration I notice is some expected age toning... not severe at all. EXTERIOR: Boards have some rubs at cornertips, edges and spine ends. Spine ends look more worn away... pressed in, so I'd better call it more than a rub. You'll notice it in ebay photos. BINDING: Binding is solid for the CHUFF-CHUFF book. Pages in RACKETY-BOOM are bound with the stapled binding, as originally issued. But the staples popped loose from the interior hinge / interior spine. So now, the bound pages are detached from book. THey are bound together, and can lie in place inside of book. I show photos of this, including the interior of the boards. You see the piercings where the staples use to fit into the book spine, but worked its way loose.
