First Edition, First Printing. 8vo., 205 pp., red dust jacket with white and black lettering, black-and-white pictorial illustration, grey paper over boards with white illustration and black-and-white illustration of Nornay Saddler, "blue ribbon" on title page, profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs, plus "Saddler in Motion - See Flip-o-Matic Pictures in Center of Book". RARE flip-book biography of the smooth-haired fox terrier Nornay Saddler. Saddler won 59 best-in-show awards, more than any dog at that point in history. This book shows him through his entire life with dozens of pictures: puppy pictures, action pictures, pictures with the people in his life. Plus "dog in motion" flip-o-matic pictures, which permit you to send Saddler into motion by flipping quickly through the pages. Very nice. Dust jacket has some edge wear including light creasing, very small closed tears, light rubbing to edges, and some very small paper loss at spine head and tail. Covers have light shelf wear. Title page has small soil mark, otherwise interior is very clean and crisp. In Very Good Plus condition. [NBK624]
