About This Item
San Francisco, California: Troubador Press, 1979. First Edition First Printing . Soft cover. Good. Gorey, Edward. Large softcover book contains 68 puzzles--crosswords, mazes, cryptic codes, mystery stories, hidden pictures, math puzzles, word finds, and more--with solutions in back. All based on the delightfully macabre illustrations of Edward Gorey, which appear in each puzzle, on every one of the 64 pages & both covers. A FIRST EDITION, First Printing, from 1979; never reprinted & increasingly scarce. Generally very clean & tight, but condition downgraded to only Good due these flaws: 1) pg 15-16 is completely detached & has wear all around the edges, 2) general light edgewear all around, 3) little check marks & the word "yes" in pen at top of some pages, else unmarked: all puzzles clean & unworked! We are also offering a like new, Fine copy of this book; please see our listing #023258). Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day.
