Clean, tight, unmarked; beige cloth covers with black titles; some light rubbing to dust jacket; price clipped; closed tear has been taped closed on outside of dust jacket at center spine; tape to front inside flap of dust jacket; some wear around area around tape from attempt at removal; otherwise bright and unfaded; very minimal wear; Dorothy Parker's verse, sharpened to arrow point and dipped in the acid of wit, brought her the kind of fame that belongs to the most frequently quoted poets of their time. Almost every literate person in America memorized and applied many of her lines to prove a point or make an impression for wit or wisdom. Here are all the poems which appeared originally in Enough Rope, Sunset Gun, Death and Taxes, plus numerous additional verses of equal brilliance.
