Description

100th Anniversary Edition published by Frederick Warne & Co., London, 2002. A highly desirable limited centenary edition issued to commemorate one hundred years of The Tale of Peter Rabbit, one of the most influential and beloved children's books ever published. This special numbered edition is hand-numbered 489 of just 500 copies produced, placing it among the scarcest modern Beatrix Potter collectibles. Housed in its original presentation case and complete with the accompanying explanatory leaflet and commemorative bookmark, the set was produced specifically for collectors and admirers of Potter's work.

As a centenary celebration of Beatrix Potter's enduring masterpiece, this edition combines fine production values with rarity and historical significance. Complete limited sets are increasingly difficult to locate, particularly in such outstanding condition, making this an exceptional collector's piece and a notable addition to any Beatrix Potter, children's literature, or limited-edition collection.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit follows the mischievous Peter as he ventures into Mr. McGregor's garden despite his mother's warnings. Combining charming storytelling with Potter's celebrated illustrations, the tale remains a cornerstone of children's literature and one of the most recognised books of the twentieth century.

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.
