About This Item
New York: Dodd, Mead, 1980. Reissue. Hardcover. Near fine/near fine. Small square 12mo, unpaginated, illustrated. A crisp, clean copy, near fine, with just a hint of rubbing to the spine ends, as is almost inevitable. In a near fine price-clipped dust jacket, just a tinge rubbed and with one short tear. SIGNED by Gorey (as "Ogdred Weary") on the title page. Toledano A7e, noting that this is the first English language hardcover edition. Uncommon signed, particularly in this condition.
Synopsis
Gorey’s naughty, hilarious travesty of lust, now reissued in a special gift edition. “A master of the genre of graphic storytelling and a brilliant draftsman” ( New York Times Book Review ).

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
