About This Item
2002: Little, Brown and Company. First. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. From the publisher:
"This book consists of award-winning cartoonist Peter Brookes' own selection of the best of his illustrations in The Times. Pithy, provocative and brilliantly executived, his cartoons consistently transcend the topical context in which they were created. His famous 'Before' and 'After' the US boming of Afghanistan illustrations; George W Bush's 'Us' and 'Them' map of the world; Gladiator Tony Blair being savaged by a sheep with foot-and-mouth disease; and 'Good', 'Good', 'Bad' sequence of Yasser Arafat, Gerry Adams and Osima Bin Laden - each making the reader laugh whilst giving us pause for thought. Ephemeral works of art - but what ephemera!"
This copy is near fine in white paper-covered boards with black and red titles and illustrations on the spine and front cover. Slight bumping at spine ends. Ink gift inscription on the ffep, but no other marks or damage. Unclipped DJ has just slight wedge wear.
