About This Item
London: Duckworth. Very Good/Very Good. 1977. Hard Cover. 8vo 0715612689 Scarce title. Dust jacket price clipped. Black cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. Previous owner's inscription on 116 pages clean and tight. Another of the collections of Heath Robinson's work put together by the artist himself in his lifetime (it was first published as Let's Laugh in 1940, when laughter was badly needed) Devices ranges at large over the manifold predicaments of life in general-sport, domesticity, crime, foreign travel, holidays and winter. With Heath Robinson at your elbow, you need never be at a loss for a simple way out of any little problem that may be worrying you -from how to diddle the Customs to filming whitebait in their native haunts. In a short foreword his old comrade-in-arms K. R. G. Browne-they worked together on How to be a Perfect Husband and How to Live in a Flat - pertinently describes Heath Robinson as the one sane man in a crazy world. Only Heath Robinson,' he reminds us, can do what Heath Robinson does. And keep on doing it.' .
