  • Publication: Sneaker HillPublication Record # 624319
  • Author: Jane Little
  • Date: 1967-03-21
  • Publisher: Atheneum
  • Price:
    $3.95?$: US dollar
  • Pages: 183
  • Format:
    hc?Hardcover. Used for all hardbacks of any size.
  • Type: NOVEL
  • Notes:
    • The publication has teal or green boards with the front board showing a small silhouette of a "sneaker" carrying a lantern. A scan is available here. Thus it's not the same publication as this record which is also for an Atheneum hardcover.
    • Assumed first printing as there is no number line and the copyright page has "First Edition".
    • Dated 1967 based on "Atheneum   1967   New York" on the title page. The PV1 copy was received October 13, 1967.
    • "First Edition" on the copyright page.
    • The source of the 1967-03-21 date is this contemporary Kirkus review which states "Pub Date: March 21st, 1967".
    • There is no visible ISBN or catalog number other than the lower-left corner of the front dust jacket flap has "812;46" with the "8" and "6" in a slightly larger font. However, all four corners of the PV1 dust jacket were snipped off and so it's possible the publication has an ISBN. The AbeBooks listings are inconclusive. When checked on 2017-07-05 there were 8 listings for the Atheneum edition. All 8 are hardcover with 7 of them for the 1967 edition and 1 for 1968. 4 of them don't list an ISBN. The other 4 list ISBN 0689202423 but there's insufficient detail in the listing to determine if they are selling a copy of this publication or the one with the purple board covers.
    • The price is partially clipped in the PV1 copy with "$3.9" visible. This was a public library copy with the library reporting it was $3.95 on the card holder pasted to the front endpaper.
    • The interior art is credited on the front cover, title page, and there's a brief artist's bio on the back dust jacket flap.
    • The cover art is not credited. Most likely it's Nancy Grossman as the drawing style is similar though the front cover also had a watercolor background.
    • The back cover has a drawing of a "sneaker" which looks like a person though they have larger feet.
    • The copyright page states an LCCN of "AC 67-10462". As of 2017-07-03 the LOC does not have a record for that LCCN but does have one for 67-2910.
