Vintage & Collectible Children's Picture Books
This section brings together used, rare and out-of-print children's illustrated books, where the artwork matters as much as the story. Expect picture books, illustrated readers and treasuries from a range of decades and artists, such as W.W. Denslow's Denslow's Picture Book Treasury and Emily Arnold McCully's Crossing the New Bridge.
You will also find storybook favorites like Jan Wahl's A Gift for Miss Milo, Randall Jarrell's Fly by Night and Philippe Dumas's Caesar: Cock of the Village. Many titles are earlier printings or hard-to-find editions prized for their plates, endpapers and jacket art, and are described down to their condition and binding.
As with all used and rare stock, condition and availability differ between copies. Most are single copies, so order online while yours is listed.
