Tom Hopman

Very rare copy!. Edition of approx. 2,500 copies.

The first book of Nijntje (Miffy) - Dick Bruna. 
You can see that Miffy is not quite who she is now, the artist is searching. For the collector of first editions. The book is complete, the pages are in good condition, the spine has come loose from the staples, minor wear to the corners of the cover.
The book is rectangular, just like Dick Bruna's book De Appel, which was published in 1953. Since the books have been published in square format since 1959, the first rectangular books have become real collector's items! As a tribute to these first seven books (which will not be reprinted), the publisher has decided to start counting the square books at number 8. 
The book has 28 pages and is complete, no stains or writing etc. - 20.1 × 14.7 cm.

The photos are part of the description.
 The book will be carefully packaged and sent by registered mail.
 
 In the same year ‘nijntje in de dierentuin’ also appeared.  Dick Bruna made new drawings and new texts for the square version of the books. In 2001 the hundredth book by Dick Bruna was published, ‘het spook nijntje’. He made more than 120 books in total! The last new book was published in 2011.
