Western Publishing (Golden Press/Simon and Schuster) made a habit of offering their Golden Books to schools and libraries with more durable bindings that could handle more wear and tear than the books would typically encounter in a private home. These special editions were called Goldencraft Editions. This copy has all of the first printing points of the standard edition, except it has a quality cloth cover rather than the standard laminated version. It has the appropriate designation of A395395.
