ACADEMIC GRAFFITI

First edition, first printing. Original red cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout with full page line drawings by Filippo Sanjust. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout. Very light (barely visible) spotting to the upper page block edge. Complete with the bright and clean dustwrapper, that is a touch rubbed to the upper spine tip. Not price-clipped (£2.00 net to the front flap). A very nice copy.

A series of witty clerihews (the four-line verse form invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley), each devoted to a different writer, philosopher, artist, or composer, and each accompanied by its own illustration.
