Boston: Anne & David Bromer, 1989. Gorey, Edward. (49)pp. First edition. From an edition of 400 copies signed by Gorey, this is one of 110 comprising the deluxe issue, with twenty-nine illustrations hand-colored by him in silver and gold metallic paint. An homage to Isaac Watts, Gorey's text is obscurely akin to Divine Songs for Children. This is the second of two miniature books produced by Gorey, both of which were published by the Bromers. The book is bound in patterned boards, with a gilt-stamped leather spine label. Fine in slightly bumped original slipcase bearing a hand-colored label. (Bromer, pp. 56-58; Toledano A97a; Bradbury, p. 39). (1 1/2 by 1 5/8; 37x40mm).

Description:
Boston: Anne & David Bromer, 1989. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Miniature book, measuring about 40mm x 34mm., illustrated. A fine, fresh copy in the publisher's patterned boards, with applied paper label to front board and gilt-stamped black leather label to spine. Spine with perhaps the faintest age-toning, else a lovely example. In the publisher's slipcase, with hand-colored printed label to side panel. This is number 100 of 110 limited copies SIGNED by Gorey, which were hand-colored in metallic casein (of which just 85 were for sale). The other 290 copies in the total limitation of 400 were un-colored, and issued without a slicpase. The illuminations bring a lively contrast to Gorey's enchanting illustrations. The hand-colored issue is considerably scarcer in commerce; we can trace just one auction sale since the year of publication.
