LAMPORT, Felicia. Scrap Irony. With drawings by Edward Gorey. Boston: Houghton Mifflin. 1961. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s pale yellow cloth lettered in brown to the spine and front board, in the dust jacket designed by Gorey. A very good copy. The cloth boards with some noticeable spotting towards the edges, the binding though firm and tight. The textblock edges with some spots and stains, the contents with some fairly consistent scattered foxing throughout. The dust jacket unclipped, complete, with small nick to spine head, a few mild nicks and bumps to other edges, much of the jacket prone to spotting and mild stains.
A comedic romp by way of two masterful humorists, combining to create this ‘delightful potpourri of light verse, parodies, and drawings, poking fun at everything from fashion to Zen Buddhism.
