Children's Hardcover Book, Barkley, Syd Hoff, Dog Story, Circus, Fiction, Illustrated

A wonderful children's hardcover book called Barkley, written and illustrated by Syd Hoff. This is 'An Early I Can Read' book. Barkley, a circus dog, is so jaunty in his prime that you have to sympathize when he is retired due to old age. Also, his replacement as pictured has nothing like Barkley's personality. Barkley attempts to ingratiate himself first in other circus acts, then to outsiders who might take him as a pet. Then finally, at long last, the circus asks him back as a teacher of puppy trainees.

Book Rating

As New: The book is in the same immaculate condition as when it was published. This could be the description for a book that has been lost in a warehouse for years, never shelved, thumbed or even opened yet may still be some years old.

Fine: A Fine book approaches the condition of As New, but without being crisp. The book may have been opened and read, but there are no defects to the book, jacket or pages.

Very Good: Describes a book that shows some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Good: Describes the average used book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Fair: Worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. Binding, jacket (if any), etc., may also be worn. All defects should be noted.

Poor: Describes a book that is sufficiently worn. Any missing maps or plates should still be noted. This copy may be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints, hinges, pages, etc.

Binding Copy: describes a book in which the pages or leaves are perfect but the binding is very bad, loose, off, or nonexistent.

Reading Copy: A copy usually in poor to fair condition that includes all text presented in a legible fashion. The copy is fine to read but nothing more.
