Description: This edition shows the Random House copyright information, but has Norcross on the title page and on the spine of both book and jacket. The front cover (both book and jacket) have "A Norcross picture Book" in the upper right corner. On the rear cover is the number 250NB206 above an ISBN number of 394-82942-5. This is a Hardcover edition and may well be the First Hardcover edition of this title. The price on the front jacket flap is $2.50. The rear flap of the dust jacket lists 12 titles in the "A Norcross picture Book" series. All are 1973 copyright titles published by Random House in their Pictureback series. Thus the assumption is that these books were published in or around 1973. Norcross was a greeting card company that also produced this series, some pop-up books (in the 1960's) (or possibly later) and some gift type books. They obviously had some type of relationship with Random House for several years. The pop-up books seen were later published by Random House under their own imprint. A Norcross executive later became a Random House executive. Possibly these two companies merged at some point. I have been able to find out very little about these Norcross editions.
