Endleaves, Flyleaves, & Pastedowns

The endleaves and flyleaves of Nicholas: A Manhattan Christmas Story are made from the same color and type of paper as the rest of the book and are made of one, two sided page (see Figure 44). Both the front and endleaves are still intact but fairly stained due to the water and fire damage sustained by the book itself. They also contain no writing or markings at all.

The front and back pastedowns are made from thin gray-colored paper (see Figure 45).

A library pocket, added by the Los Angeles Public Library, is glued to the cover side of the front pastedown. The library pocket not only bears the author's name as "Moore, Annie Carroll" which has been corrected with pen to say "Anne", but it also possesses a penned-in note indicating the book was a Newbery Honor Book in 1925 (see Figures 46 and 47). Inside the pocket, no punch or stamp card remains.
