ACADEMIC GRAFFITI

First edition, first printing. Original red cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the illustrated dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout with full page line drawings by Filippo Sanjust. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout. Complete with the bright and clean dustwrapper, that is a little rubbed and creased to spine tips and with touch of fading to the red lettering on the spine. Not price-clipped (£2.00 net to the front flap).

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