Hardcover Edition with Dust Jacket. "Story and Illustrations by Staff of Walt Disney Studios. This is considered the very first mass-market Mickey Mouse book (other than a small-press book printed with a limited run in 1930). A few years before it was a pioneering comics publisher, David McKay presented this, among the first wave of licensed Disney products. Also noteworthy as containing the first mention of a character named "Donald Duck," this copy includes the very scarce dust jacket. Mickey wants to throw a party for his friends on the farm (including Carolyn Cow and Henry Horse, later known as Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar). But first he must get Claws the Cat out of the way. First printing, Hardcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in. 32 pages. Cover price $0.10. Cover price $0.10.

Hardcover Edition. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. 32 pages. This is a very scarce first printing of the earliest Disney book (as opposed to magazines or comic book-type products). The first licensed Disney books and magazines came out in 1930, and the first Big Little Books featuring Mickey did not come out until 1933. This book features a great original story in which Mickey has to get Claws the Cat out of the way before a party can be held on the farm. Of course Mickey succeeds and throws a big party for all his friends (including Carolyn Cow and Henry Horse, later known as Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar). Cover price $0.10.

Adventures of Eva, Pora and Ted, 1932 first edition (NOTE: A 1936 variant edition was also published). A premium for the Evaporated Milk Association. 16-pages, black and white, unique 15-in. x 5-in. size, no cover price. Cover may be blue, green or white paper stock. NOTE: This promotional item came folded so a center fold is not deemed a defect that reduces grade. The cover was designed with that in mind; this can be seen by the way the cartoons lie, and by observing the back cover ads which are divided perfectly by the fold.
