Presumably the deluxe issue of this work, emulating the binding of the Winnie-The-Pooh deluxe issues in limp calf binding. This copy is without the 8pp. adverts which are in the trade issue, and the top-corner pictorial motifs of Tigger and Owl have been swapped, and are overlaid on the the blind stamping.
