Beschreibung

Tan cloth with brown lettering and cover illustration. Smudge to lower front end of spine, upper corners bumped. Tipped in postcard imprinted with Mrs. Benjamin Kaplan is signed by the author, "Sorry this is so late but if 'twere Don when 'twas supposed to have been Don 'twould not be Gailly unexpected. Happy New Year, Felicia." Text is otherwise clean and bright, no marks. Wonderfully and profusely illustrated throughout with drawings by Edward Gorey. Unclipped DJ with $1.95 price shows browing to all edges and spine, closed tear at bottom edge of front covers, light general soiling. Wonderful cover art by Edward Gorey. "A collection of light verse, prose pieces and black-humor drawings. Laughing over the absurdities of our times, Miss Lamport takes us from New York statuses to foreign ruins, from Broadway abysses to transportation traps, from musical soup to political nuts. Flagrant indulgence in exotic words (did you know that larks flew not in common flocks but in exhaltations?) is balanced by solid satire of our art forms, our critics and any cultural clinkers that have rolled her way." (from the cover).
