Melbourne: Thomas C. Lothian, 1998. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Tan, Shaun. Uncommon First Edition of a great book for children and art-lovers alike. Hard-to-find First Printing in excellent condition [Thomas C. Lothian, Melbourne, 1998]; no dustjacket [as issued]; very slight evidence of use. The Rabbits won the CBCA Picture Book Of The Year Award, a decision that ruffled a few feathers due to the thinly-veiled satire of Australian history it portrays. This copy has the post-production bookseller's sticker announcing its shortlisting stuck to the front [removable]*. At a talk given by Shaun Tan, he related a story about a bookseller in country Victoria who outsold most bookstores around the country by removing this sticker and placing the book prominently in the Art section. Certainly an appropriate categorisation! ISBN: 0 85091 878 2 / 0850918782.
