The author's second book and the first in the 'Mog' series

Kerr, Judith ~ Mog, the forgetful cat

Collins, London : 1970

The First UK printing published by Collins in 1970. The correct first issue with no ISBN number to the printing details page or to the lower edge of the rear wrapper flap. The BOOK is in Very Good+ condition. Light handling marks to a handful of pages and some light toning to the text-block and page edges due to the quality of the paper stock used. Some very light spots, creasing and age related markings in a few places. Original illustrated boards with some light toning and spotting to the edges in places. Free from inscriptions. The WRAPPER repeating the board-design is complete and is in Very Good++ condition. Slightly nicked with a little rubbing at the spine ends and corners. Small losses to the spine ends . Light creasing to the edges. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. Colour-printed illustrations by the author throughout. An attractive copy of the author's increasingly elusive second book, and the first title in the acclaimed 'Mog' series. ISBN numbers were introduced in 1970 and it seems that the publishers had to introduce this whilst the book was being printed. The subsequent second state printing of the first issue has the ISBN number present on the printing details page and to the lower edge of the wrapper front flap. The second state wrapper also has a different blurb format to both flaps. A scarce survivor.
