About the Story
The dream of a lowly store clerk in Sydney comes true when a huge balloon arrives from France to promote an advertising campaign, but without a balloonist.
Publishing Info
The Gigantic Balloon – with story by Ruth Park and illustrated by Kilmeny and Deborah Niland. From Parents’ Magazine Press in 1976. The ISBN is 0-8193-0848-X. The book measures 10-1/4″ x 7-3/4″ and has 28 pages.
Condition
See larger scan above. Some bruising and staining on the cover. The binding is strong and square. The pages are in very good condition with some lighter handling but no names or other markings. From clean, smoke-free home.
Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, tightly sandwich it between pieces of cardboard, then wrap in brown paper to send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a one-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
