First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First edition thus. First edition thus, firts printing, letter line beginning with "A". 5 1/2" x 6" in three-color illustrated boards. A fine, fresh, apparently unused example ; issued without dust jacket. Unpaginated (60 pp.). Collection of drawings by Edward Gorey who published this work under an anagram of his name. It first appeared in 1961(an almost unobtainable edition) where it was subtitled a "pornographic illustrated history about furniture." ; despite the title there is nothing overtly sexual in the darwings. Gorey instead used innuendo and strategically placed objects like urns, tree branches, robes, etc.
