Publication: Manchester, World Distributors (Manchester) Ltd., 1952

Formatting: 4to, pp. 88.

Condition Report: Very Good. The maroon quarter-cloth binding remains tight and secure, exhibiting only mild rubbing to the spine extremities and light bumping to the corners. The glossy pictorial boards retain their vibrant yellow colouring, though they show typical surface scuffing and minor edge-wear consistent with a children's annual of this era. Internally, the pages are notably bright and free from the heavy foxing, tears, or crayon marks that often plague such volumes, ensuring the vibrant comic strips and illustrations remain in highly presentable condition.

Catalogue Note: This is the true first edition of the Roy Rogers Cowboy Annual, featuring the iconic "King of the Cowboys" alongside his famous golden palomino, Trigger.

Profusely illustrated throughout, the volume features a mixture of dynamic full-colour comic strips, beginning with the classic "Mustang Mountain," and action-packed two-tone and black-and-white text stories. The front endpapers open to a striking photographic portrait of Rogers.

Finding early mid-century children's annuals in clean, unblemished condition is becoming increasingly uncommon. This copy stands as a highly collectible piece of Western Americana exported for a British audience.

Saddle up with the King of the Cowboys in this vintage 1952 annual! Bursting with thrilling tales of the Wild West, this action-packed volume follows Roy Rogers and his trusty horse, Trigger, as they thwart outlaws, rescue ranchers, and bring justice to the frontier. Featuring a delightful mix of classic comic strips, illustrated short stories, and vintage puzzles, it is a nostalgic time capsule that perfectly captures the golden age of Western pop culture.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
