About This Item

UK,slim 8vo HB+dw/dj,author SIGNED,illustrated,1st edn. NMINT/MINT-. NO owner inscrptn,but author's ubiquitous, trademark,neat,handwritten green ink signature - but without dedication - to title page,and a price-clip to dw/dj.Bright,crisp,clean,glossy,colour pictorial artwork by Simon Drew,illustation of side profile of a dog's head to the foreground with a running shower-head behind it and a vinyl shower curtain behind that - a visual pun.Author's capitalised, white-lettered name and title to front of dw/dj; a white spine/backstrip with capitalised black-lettered title and author's other black-lettered name,and publisher's black illustrated colophon to foot of same,rear panel of dw/dj with a colour pictorial artwork illustration by Simon Drew,of three moles waiting on an underground station's platform with punning text - . . . the garden had suffered severe molestation.Virtually no shelf-wear,creasing,nor any nicks,tears or splits present and virtually scoring/indent-free.Top+fore-edges bright,crisp,clean without blemish or foxing/spotting; contents bright,tight, clean,solid and sound - pristine - no dog-ear reading creases to any pages' corners,appears unread other than my own collation.Publisher's bright,crisp,clean, sharp-cornered,glossy glazed boards with dw/dj repeated design/illustration and lettering,and immaculate punning colour pictorial artwork illustrated endpapers+text - 3 pig's heads with caption "I haven't clawed ny way to the top of the food chain just to eat vegetables" to front and an ox in a boat with caption 'boat ox' to rear endpapers. UK,slim 8vo HB+dw/dj,author SIGNED,illustrated,1st edn,3-48pp [paginated] includes 28 single-page visual punned and 9 double-paged punned colour illustrations - all by Simon Drew; plus [unpaginated] Michelangelos DVD vignetted title page with author's signature and with a colour vignette illustrated dedication page to its reverse. Visually the exterior appearance is spectacularly exceptional and particularly internally,is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation for a book of its near 20-year-old age. It is only the price-clipped dw/dj that prevents a higher grading of near perfect! It really is still an exceptional, exemplary example for its cleanliness,brightness and lack of any other detracting faults. Want more Simon DREW titles? For similar and other titles,either SIGNED or not,1sts or reprints,then please search my SIGNED and MODERN FIRSTS2 catalogues. This is Simon Drew's 21st book of nonsense - thus establishing him in the same league as Jane Austen (or at least of her neighbour's gardener). Shakespeare,Wordsworth and Blake will all no doubt be turning in their one enormous grave; in fact,almost anyone called William will now want to avoid this unfortunate book. Recent research has shown that anyone who thinks Agatha Christie is a good writer might find this book a bit too high brow: think of all those people who need care in the community who could so easily be saved from being a drain on the state by simply reading this book. Goverments across the world have requested copies to be distributed to all their worst political prisoners. One copy has already been in a canister and sent into space to be found by future interstellar civilisations.In fact a suggestion has been made that ALL copies of this book should be sent into space. . . Please contact seller,for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas customers - BEFORE ordering through the order page! N.B. ALL buyers please note,stocks' actual shipping/P+p costs are adjusted and any difference is refunded,after order's receipt and before the order's despatch,especially if the item(s) are offered either P+p included/FREE. ** N.B. US/Canada customers please be aware: Standard AIRMAIL postage from UK to these destinations can now cost more than the price of the book! If speed is not of the essence,then Economy rate is recommended - at approx. anything from a 1/3rd to 1/2 of the standard US AIR quote/rate - sometimes arriving sooner than the 42 days - but not always. **
