Soft Cover. Condition: Fine. First Edition Thus. No date; circa 1945. Lt. blue wraps, fine. Pages fine. Saddle-stitch bind. "Among the series of epigrams called The Devil's Dictionary are some of the most gorgeous witticisms in the English language."- H. L. Mencken. Really not so evil in its selection of definitions, but more an… erudite explanation in the mode of 'devil's advocate' of some common terms and their rather uncommonly expressed connotations. Many illustrative quotations, excerpts and some rather obscure truisms and colloquialisms from 'literature' of a paradoxical nature. 64 pages. Size: 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall. Book.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This offering is a set of three vintage books published by Peter Pauper Press, None of these three books published by Peter Pauper Press have dust jackets. Franklin's Autobiography was edited by C. Merton Babcock and illustrated by Erwin Schachner. This book was published…- perhaps - in 1967 and appears to be a First Edition though it is not stated as such. The book is 4 1/2" by 7 3/8" and has 62 pages. It's a hard cover book in very good condition. The Devil's Dictionary (A Selection of the Bitter Definitions of Ambrose Bierce) was written by Ambrose Bierce and I can find no mention of the person who did the two-color illustrations/decorations. The book is 4 1/2" by 7 1/2" and has 61pages and is in good + condition. Oscar Wilde Epigrams was written by Oscar Wilde and illustrated by Fritz Kredel. The book is 4 1/2" by 7 1/2" and has 62 pages and is in good condition. All three books appear to be First editions though they're not stated as such. All three books would make great little gifts . . . meaningful yet interesting. You won't pay an arm and a leg . . . but they're not free either. Thank you. Erwin Schachner - Fritz Kredel (illustrator).
