Dr. Seuss Bright and Early, and Beginner Books - Perkins, Eastman, Brunhoff, Gurney - Matte - Copyrights 1958 - 1973 - Cat in Hat Library

To our American buyers: Regrettably, we have had to increase the shipping cost for single book purchases, a direct reflection of the brokerage fees incurred to ship to the U.S. following the imposition of tariffs and termination of the de minimis exemption. To help offset the increase, we have reduced the cost for additional titles shipped in the same order from $3/book to $2. Shipping overages are refunded.

To our American Customers: unfortunately, we can not ship to the U.S. at this time. We sincerely hope that processes are soon put into place that will allow for the collection and remittance of new tariffs so we can once again ship our “wild finds” to you. Until then, please accept our apologies and continue supporting our small business by “favoriting” the treasures you love, and “following” our shop. Thanks, so much!

As with all vintage books, wear including scuffing, fading, dog ears, crushed/soft cover corners, minor tears etc., are to be expected. Our books are sold in “as is” condition. Significant flaws (large tears, scribbles, inscriptions, water damage) are noted by book title (see above), and in photos where space permits. Please take a careful look at the photos provided, read the attached descriptions and, if any of these potential issues are particularly important to you, contact us prior to check-out for specific details about the copy being shipped. When multiple copies are in inventory, we will always ship the book that is in the BEST condition.
