Stated first edition. Unclipped jacket with price sticker on front flap, darkening spine, closed tears at top joint and flap. Sturdy red cloth boards, pages unmarked. [viii], 283pp. 8 x 6". From the jacket: "This a great book. No major publisher in the country would touch it. R.A. Lafferty is an award winning author His best work remains unpublished. He says things that no one else is saying, and I swear he knowns things that no one else knows. The things that he says are true. He takes things seriously which we are forbidden to take seriously and laughs at things we are forbidden to laugh at. Make no mistake about it. This is a dangerous book. It is also a very funny book.".
