1977 Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret | Judy Blume | 17th Dell Printing
Originally published in 1970, Judy Blume’s Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. became one of the defining coming-of-age novels for generations of young readers. This vintage Dell Yearling paperback is the seventeenth Dell printing, July 1977, making it an early 1970s-era copy of Blume’s now-classic novel.
Nearly twelve-year-old Margaret Simon is navigating a move from New York City to suburban New Jersey while wrestling with friendship, growing up, puberty, periods, bras and questions about religion and her own relationship with God. Written with the openness and humor that became Judy Blume’s hallmark, the book addressed subjects that children’s literature of the era often avoided.
This edition is especially fun for collectors of vintage children’s and young-adult books because it retains its wonderfully 1970s illustrated Dell Yearling cover and the original $1.25 cover price.
Condition: Acceptable vintage condition. This copy has clearly been well loved, with substantial cover creasing, rubbing, edge and corner wear, small tears and general handling wear. Pages show considerable age toning consistent with a nearly 50-year-old paperback. Binding intact and the text remains readable. Please review all photos closely for condition.
