Norman The Doorman by Don Freeman (1959 First Edition)

Description: Condition Continued: I counted nineteen tiny to small spots of soiling over the 64 pages of text, all at the white margins, none on the illustrations. There is also one small amber spot on the illustrated front inside cover, two or three on the illustrated rear inside cover, and three or four on the illustrated rear end paper. I didn't see any significant creasing, but most of the pages have a tiny, light crease just above the tip of their bottom corners. I didn't see any placeholder creases. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. I've also rated the dust jacket only Good. You can see it in the first three photographs. I've always had it in a fitted protective cover. There is a loss at the top edge of the spine that just barely touches the edge of the first letter of the title. The smaller loss at the bottom nips off the bottom part of the last letter of the publishers name. There is a 1 3/4 inch tear going down the juncture between the front cover and the front flap. A sliver of the paper there is gone. The three other corners on the middle edge junctures have only tiny bits of loss. There are also a handful of edge tears, and there is soiling on the spine and on the front cover. The flaps are in pretty good shape. The tip of the front flap's top corner has a tiny crease. There is a small sliver of loss adjacent to the middle edge juncture with the front cover. The rear flap has one light amber spot, a couple of tiny creases or crinkles. The jacket is NOT price-clipped (has the original $3.00 price), not clipped at all. As earlier mentioned, it is protected by a fitted cover. The Viking Press, New York, 1959. Hardcover in Dust Jacket. Written and Illustrated by Don Freeman. First Edition ( 'Published in 1959 by The Viking Press' ). There are only a few of the original 1959 First Editions of Norman The Doorman for sale on the Internet. I have priced mine considerably lower than the prior least expensive one for sale anywhere on the Internet. 'Don Freeman was an American painter, printmaker, cartoonist, and an illustrator and writer of children's books. He studied at the Art Students League of New York where he studied graphic design and lithography under John Sloan, Harry Wickey, and Kathryn E. Cherry. He was first introduced to children's literature when William Saroyan asked him to illustrate several books. These include Human Comedy, which is considered one of his best-known works. However, his greatest influence came from the artist Honoré Daumier. Freeman studied many of Daumier's works, particularly his caricatures. He also owned a large collection of books on the artist. 'Simplicity is the essence of children's-book stories, not simple-mindedness', Freeman once stated when speaking to an audience that was interested in writing, illustrating, and publishing children's books.When Freeman lived in New York City during the 1930s, 1940s, and early 1950s, he was a brilliant illustrator of city life in the best traditions of Social Realism. In 1976, he was recognized by the City of New York for his body of work portraying the city. He won the Caldecott Medal in 1958 for Fly High, Fly Low.'
