Owing Mills, MD: Stemmer House, 1978. Book. Illus. by Ferebe Streett. Near Fine. Soft cover. 1st Edition. 9h x 5 1/2w. A real nice 286 page first edition (stated) softcover with see through protective cover. Has numerous illustrations throughout. A number of the definitions are accompanied by satiric verses, many of which are signed with comic pseudonyms such as Salder Bupp and Orm Pludge; the most frequently appearing "contributor" is "that learned and ingenious cleric, Father Gassalasca Jape, S.J., whose lines bear his initials". What had started as a newspaper serialization was first reproduced in book form in 1906 under the dubious title Cynic's Word Book. Published by Doubleday, Page and Company, this contained definitions of 500 words in the first half of the alphabet (A-L). A further 500 words (M-Z) were published in 1911 in Volume 7 of The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce, this time under the name of The Devil's Dictionary..
