Price: US$6500.00 + shipping

Condition: Near Fine

Description: First edition, first printing. A signed copy in the exceedingly rare first state. One of only six advance copies incorrectly bound by the publisher in decorated paper over boards rather than decorated cloth; production was immediately stopped and publication was delayed. The publisher recalled two of the six copies, but the other four apparently circulated before they were recalled. The paper covered boards appear to use the same or very similar paper that was eventually used in the dustwrapper. Additionally this is an association copy, signed by Edward Gorey on the title page and inscribed to Andreas [Brown], longtime owner of the Gotham Book Mart. The Gotham Book Mart was a famous Manhattan bookstore and cultural landmark which was credited for promoting and building the success and career of the Gorey. The store became the commercial flagship of Gorey's works, selling his books, calendars, greeting cards, T-shirts, and other products. It published 15 of Gorey's books and the store gallery hosted exhibitions of his illustrations, as well as public signings by the author. Brown was named as one of the coexecutors of Gorey's estate, after he died in 2000. Near Fine with light toning to spine, light wear to corners, several small cup rings to bottom of front cover, light soiling to bottom textblock edge. In a Near Fine likely supplied (no cup rings) dust jacket. Housed in a custom cloth chemise case. A scarce item and a stopper for collectors of Gorey's oeuvre, not mentioned in the bibliography of his works by Henry Toleando.
