About This Item
Worcester, Massachusetts: Metacom Press, 1985. 6 3/4 inches. 4 gatherings of 16 leaves, printed recto only: 2 sets printed with pictures, 2 with text. Original pictorial wrappers in three folding panels, stitched. Prospectus card laid in. Lettered and signed by the artist. Fine.
Letter M of 26 signed and lettered copies reserved for the use of the artist and publisher (an additional 500 signed and numbered copies were issued for sale). The prospectus advertises the work as a "collection of 32 memorable Gorey characters, presented in a delightful variation on the traditional heads-legs-bodies book. Each of the four sections - two for drawings, two for captions - opens independently of the others, so that the characters and their affectingly hapless remarks may be rearranged in thousands of combinations." One of Gorey's eleven movable books and three cut-apart books.
Toledano A90b.
