![]() ![]() A classic example of Gorey's quasi-Victorian, morbidly humorous illustrated books. Not price clipped (13s 6d to the bottom of the front flap). There are short closed tears to the top edge of the front and rear panels which have been repaired to the underside with two small pieces of tape, and another short closed tear to the bottom edge of the front panel (without repair). ![]() Compete with the lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that is a touch faded to the spine and with a few tiny spots to the front panel. The faintly toned contents are clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the gilt titles a touch rubbed. Illustrated throughout with Gorey's atmospheric pen and ink drawings. Original green cloth with gilt titles to the upper board, in dustwrapper. ![]()
