Amphigorey: Fifteen Books by Edward Gorey

New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons. Very Good+ in Poor dj. (c.1972). First Edition. Hardcover. [modest shelfwear to book, one-time owner's name and address written in black felt-tip at lower left corner of the half-title page; the jacket is a real mess, unfortunately, with extensive chipping, various small tears, some surface insect-nibbling, etc. (it's now inside a new mylar cover, and it protects the book, but that's about all that can be said for it)]. (pen and ink drawings) The first major Gorey anthology, collecting fifteen of his early works, which had even then become "difficult and expensive to find in their original editions." Includes: "The Unstrung Harp"; "The Fatal Lozenge"; "The Willowdale Handcar"; "The Gashlycrumb Tinies"; and numerous other deliciously morbid morsels. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
