Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl Illustrated by Joseph Schindelman Deep red cloth hardback, no dust jacket. The title is blindstamped on front cover, Borzoi Books blindstamped on the back cover, gilt lettering on spine, chocolate top page edges, mustard-color endpages. Published by Knopf, 1964, 162 pages. My research shows it to be a Second issue of First Edition, contains the five lines colophon on last page (first 'About the Author; then the 5-line colophon - Text set in Bembo', etc). The only date shown on copyright page is copyright 1964, L.C. Catalog card number 63-14604. Again my research shows it as the second issue, the original version with the original text and illustrations with African pygmies as Oompa-Loompas, page 72 illustration, page 73 - 'Pygmies they are!......tribe of tiny miniature pygmies known as the Oompa-Loompas'. There is cover damage, corner tears, some white spots & white line on front cover, the back cover also has spots and scratches (poor back cover), about 4 pages have small spots, page damage at bottom of two pages, front endpaper has a 1969 gift inscription. The binding is poor at the beginning of the book, a little loose, pages are intact, title page has a crease indentation as does a couple of other pages. I'll rate it in fair condition overall.
