About This Item
NY: Adama Books, 1983. Gorey, Edward. (61)pp. First reprint of Gorey's first miniature book. Signed by Gorey. The text is an alphabet of short humorous couplets patterned after early moral primers for children, as in "Find tasks to do While in a Queue." Each couplet is accompanied by an illustration, which was full-page in the miniature first edition but here remains, in fact, miniature. Very fine in glazed paper-covered boards.
