AHLBERG, Janet and Allen. The Jolly Postman, or Other People’s Letters. London; William Heinemann. 1986

Landscape 8vo.; original pictorial boards with designs to both covers; illustrated throughout in colour by Janet Ahlberg with integral pockets between the leaves fashioned as envelopes, with all requisite inserts, letters, cards, postcards etc. in exceptional condition; a fine copy, unused and complete, with only the smallest evidence of page turning; scarce thus.

First edition, first printing; issued without a dustwrapper.  One of the first of the insert books, and a true classic of the type.
