Interesting to see one of these at a slightly more reasonsable price than UK and US sellers (noting that this seller is in Sweden). That said, IMO it's still quite overpriced in this condition - several copies that were (seemingly) as good or better went for between 2,500 and 4,000 Kr. at auction here in the last few months.
And there is also one on sale at the moment at www.bokborsen.se for 2,000 Kr.
It's worth adding too that if the Tove Jansson illustrations are the primary draw, they were included in the Finnish edition from the 1970s (very hard to find) but also in the 80th anniversary re-release in 2017 which can be had for more of a "high street" price

In that case just go for the present danish edition at around $30. Its almost a replika of the 1962.
