Vintage paperback with shelf wear to covers inside pages are in good shape with some browning to the pages. Please look at all the pictures as they are part of the description.

Jim Flora's fantastically illustrated books captivated kids throughout the 1960s and 70s, so much so that secondhand copies sell for exorbitant sums. Grandpa's Ghost Stories has been the most sought-after of his children's books, and Feral House is pleased to announce the first reprint since its original publication in 1978. These ghoulish and amusing stories and wildly inventive illustrations will keep readers shivering. Perhaps better known for his brilliant and madcap illustrations that graced the covers of hundreds of jazz and classical record albums in the 1940s and 50s, Jim Flora also wrote and illustrated seventeen popular books for children. In this book, Grandpa comforts his grandson during a fierce thunderstorm by telling him stories about far scarier things, including a hungry werewolf and an evil witch who turns boys into spiders. The illustrations bring the tall tales to life with Flora's incomparable humor and wit. Grandpa's Ghost Stories is a spooky (and silly) delight for all ages.

I aim to capture any flaws or issues when I take the listing photos but on occasion I may miss something. Please forgive me if I do! Always feel free to ask for more photos and/or ask questions if you would like further details before purchasing. Almost all vintage books, hardcover and paperbacks are going to show signs of their age and usage that impact the condition. But condition can be somewhat subjective; what doesn't bother me (like tanning or foxing) might bother you so please contact me if you have any concerns with your purchase before leaving a review. When tracking shows the package has been delivered, I cannot give a refund if the package is stolen or can't be found. Once it's in the hands of the post office, all I can do is direct you as to how to proceed with an inquiry.
