Up for sale is a highly nostalgic, wonderfully illustrated vintage 1971 children\'s environmental book: \"Sparrows Don\'t Drop Candy Wrappers\" by Margaret Gabel. Published during the emergence of the 1970s ecology movement, this 56-page volume delivers practical conservation suggestions to kids paired with charming black-and-white drawings by Susan Perl on nearly every page.
Condition Details:
- Binding & Boards: The illustrated hardcover boards retain great color clarity. Shows light edge rubbing, minor shelf softening to the corners/spine ends, and minor surface age-toning typical for a book of this era. Binding remains structurally firm and tightly bound.
- Pages: The text block is complete. Pages are mostly clean, flat, and legible, showing mild, natural age-browning along the edges. A couple of small, light age spots/smudges may be present from past reading, but free of internal crayon, ink markings, or heavy tearing.
A lovely addition for collectors of mid-century children\'s literature, fans of Susan Perl\'s unique illustration style, or vintage ecology books.
