Price: US$1500.00 + shipping
Condition: Good
Description: First edition copy of The Beastly Baby. This early work by Gorey was rejected time and time again until he published it himself with The Fantod Press. The covers are a bit faded and toned along the spine. The back cover has a rehabilitating crease in the corner and some small dents, but is otherwise unmarked. Fantod Press, 1962. First edition of 500 copies. Interior is completely clean. This is just one item from a strange, growing, possibly even contagious collection of the works of Edward Gorey. Please get in touch if youd like photos or have other inquiries.
