This is no. 40 of a limited edition of 500, [the first separate edition] of this title, signed by Edward Gorey on the colophon page using the pseudonym Mrs Regera Dowdy [an anagram of the author’s name]. Unpaginated [32 pages]. Original blue/gray stiff paper wrappers with decorative illustrations on both front and back cover by Gorey. Illustrations printed on rectos, corresponding letterpress on facing versos. A very nice low numbered copy of this title, printed by the press that Gorey founded in 1962.
