London: Souvenir Press, 1989. Brand New in a Brand New dust jacket. NOT price clipped (£14.95). NO chips. NO tears. NO creases. Bright, shiny, clean, square and tight. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Obviously never read. 1989. First Edition. Sixty full-page cartoons in color and a glossary vividly explain the "esoteric, poetic and usually approximate descriptions" found in booksellers' catalogs. For example "working copy" is defined as "filthy but just about decipherable" and "head, dented" describes a "volume that has been used to replace the leg of a sideboard." This humorous guide is intended to help innocent book collectors "foil the devious machinations of scheming and wicked booksellers for ever more." The cartoons are especially charming. Bound in the original brick red boards, stamped in shiny gold. Complete with dust jacket. Oversize Hardcover. 8.75" wide by 12" tall. This large, heavy book will require extra postage for Priority and International shipments, but only the standard charge for media mail.. First Edition. Oversize Hardcover. New/New. Illus. by Searle, Ronald. 124pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Without a smattering of inside information, the baffled but hopelessly-bitten book buyer is drifting unarmed and unprepared into a minefield whose perilous complexities will usually only be made plain when an eagerly awaited parcel of dream volumes arrives and mangled contents are revealed in all their deceptive glory.... But all is not lost. Help is at hand!
