Antiquarian-style Illustrated Book (1995 Edition)

This is a copyright and credits page from a modern children's or illustrated book, specifically the 1995 edition published by Courage Books, an imprint of Running Press. The page is printed on heavy-weight, off-white or cream-colored bond paper with a slight texture, mimicking a classic library aesthetic. The typography is set in 'Caslon Antique' by Justin T. Scott, contributing to a historical, vintage feel. Key identifiers include the ISBN (1-56138-476-3) and Library of Congress Cataloging Number (95-67238). The illustrations for this work were created by Christian Birmingham, with interior design by Frances J. Soo Ping Chow. Notably, the number line '9 8 7 6 5 4' indicates that this specific copy is a fourth printing of the 1995 edition. The book was printed in China. The condition appears to be excellent for a soft-cover or hard-cover interior page, with no visible foxing, tearing, or significant yellowing, though a slight shadow in the lower left corner suggests the page is being held open manually for the photograph. The manufacturing high quality is evident in the choice of serif typography and clean layout, typical of mid-90s high-end children's literature illustrators like Birmingham, known for his soft, pastel-style artwork.
