Description:
New York: The Vanguard Press, 1938. Unlike the majority of Geisel's books, The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins was written in prose rather than rhyming and metered verse. Geisel, who collected hats, got the idea for the story on a commuter train from New York to New England, while he was sitting behind a businessman wearing a hat; the passenger was so stiff and formal that Geisel idly wondered what would happen if he took the man's hat and threw it out the window. Geisel concluded that the man was so "stuffy" that he would just grow a new one. The book received positive reviews from critics. The New York Times reviewer called the book "a lovely bit of tomfoolery which keeps up the suspense and surprise until the end." Booklist, which had criticized Geisel's previous book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, for containing only enough material for one comic strip, praised The 500 Hats as "a brand-new idea, developed into a complete tale, not too long,… Read More

Description:
New York: Vanguard Press,, 1938. Inscribed by Seuss to his literary agent First edition of Seuss's second book, inscribed by the author to his literary agent, Jed Mattes, on the front free endpaper verso, "For Jed, one extra Hoot! Dr Seuss", with an original pencil drawing of a red hat. Mattes (1953-2003) took over from Seuss's previous long-term agent, Phyllis Jackson in 1977, and was known for his staunch advocacy on behalf of emerging gay writers. This is a later printing, published in the same year as the first, distinguished by the red hat illustrations on the endpapers, which flow right to left in the first printing, and left to right in this printing. Quarto. Original red cloth-backed black boards, spine lettered in black, front board lettered in white, and illustrated in red and white, illustrated endpapers. With dust jacket. Illustrated throughout by the author. Extremities rubbed and corners a little worn, a very good copy indeed, boards and contents bright and sharp, in the price-clipped… Read More

Description:
New York: Vanguard, 1938. Near fine in very good jacket.. Signed early printing of Seuss's second book. In this fairy tale a little boy finds himself in trouble with a king when he is unable to remove his hat, growing another as each is displaced. The story was inspired in part by a train ride in which Seuss became annoyed with a neighboring rider's hat - which he then began to daydream about removing by force. The proliferation of hats, however, was more directly influenced by Seuss's own collecting: he had almost 100 different hats, including "fire hats, a feathered admiral's cap, and a particularly ornate Czech army helmet" (Jones). This copy comes directly from the stock of Aleph-Bet Books, the firm of Seuss bibliographers Helen Younger and Marc Younger. 12'' x 9''. Original cloth backed pictorial boards. In original price-clipped dust jacket. Revised endpapers. Mulberry Street priced at $1.00 on jacket flap. Signed by Seuss on verso of front free endpaper. Slight soil in gutters, else fine,… Read More
