New York: Congdon and Weed, 1983. Hardcover. Fine. First edition. Fine in pictorial papercovered boards, without dustwrapper. One of six advance copies misbound by the publisher in decorated paper over boards (instead of decorated cloth); production was immediately stopped and publication was delayed. The publisher recalled two of the copies, the other four apparently circulated before they were recalled. The papercovered boards appear to use the same or very similar paper that was eventually used in the dustwrapper. This copy with a 1983 Gotham Book Mart catalogue description laid-in describing the misbinding, and a Gorey-illustrated, Gotham Book Mart bookmark. This issue not noted in *Toledano.* Rare.
