Well, for this post I defiantly am.
I’ve always loved Marguerite Henry’s Misty books since 3rd grade when my teacher read Misty Of Chincoteague to my class. I’m not sure if teachers still do that, but I know for my class my teacher did! So I’ve made quite a collection of the Misty Ponies over the years slowly finding the models.
Even though I have enough to have a generic collector’s class entry, you normally want to add more to them to give off some spark. So slowly but surely I’ve been adding the books to the collection. But not any books. I’ve been trying to collect the original covers. The original covers, to me, look nicer, shows that you’ve put a little effort in than going to the neighborhood bookstore, and normally matches the model better.
Friday, I gained a hardback copy of Sea Star. I work at a book store and saw it and asked about it, and it was given to me! Thanks again! :) Plus if you’re coming to NAN you may like to stop by: Cupboard Maker Books
It isn’t a first printing,
but still the book’s cover pretty much matches the pose of the Breyer Sea Star.
Instead of having to open the paperback to the picture of Sea Star, it’s right on the front of the hardback.
Now the Paperback, after some researching, seems to have the original cover,
And may be a first printing, but I need to do further research to confirm that it’s a first printing, paperback copy.
Well, that’s all for now for the Misty Ponies.
