Slightly Foxed - Still Desirable: Ronald Searle's Wicked World of Book Collecting
Product Code: 70906
60 wonderful full-page color cartoons by Searle illustrating book collector jargon.
From the publisher:
After a lifetime of avidly scanning the frequently poisonously-tinted pages of innumerable book catalogues, Ronald Searle has become expert in the art of decoding those esoteric, poetic, and usually approximate, descriptions of literary come-ons. Now, licking his wounds, he publishes his hard-earned findings in this fully-illustrated pioneer guide, designed to foil the devious machinations of scheming and wicked booksellers for ever more.
The result is one of the funniest, most entertaining books to have emerged from the brilliantly perceptive pen of the master. No book collector, and certainly no bookseller, can afford to be without it -- even the wicked ones.
Searle, Ronald
