Brown's Blue Ribbon Book of Jokes and Jingles, 1904, 16 pages, art signed by R. F. Outcault.  This is likely the first nationally distributed comic premium.  What most people don't realize is that four different varieties of booklet #1 exist.  There is a green one that is probably a publisher's proof, a first printing with Pore Li'l Mose on the back cover,  a second printing with the Yellow Kid replacing Pore Li'l Mose, and a third printing calling it Buster Brown's Blue Ribbon Book.  The copy I am advertising is the first printing, and when the Price Guide lists the different varieties, it will be the most valuable.  This is a very low grade copy, probably fair, and you need to look at the pictures carefully.  Cost is $200

Booklet #2 is in nice condition except it is missing the first wrap.  A color Xerox is attached.  Interior pages are VG/F.  This was published  in 1906, also with 16 pages and art by R. F. Outcault.  Cost is $75

Booklet #4 is nicer but has tape on the spine.  It was published in 19j10, also with 16 pages, but the art is nice but is not signed by R. F. Outcault and probably was drawn by a house artist.  Cost is $200

Buy all three for $400

Please ask any questions before buying.
