First edition chapbook original, #96 of 300, signed, numbered copies, a Near Fine copy with an ancient $2.50 price sticker and small, light, tackhead-sized elliptical stain to rear cover. I put in two multi-item Lafferty orders to two different sources and this is the only thing yhat ended up getting duplicated. Twenty years ago you could pick up just about all the Lafferty chapbooks for a song, and now they're nearly unobtanium.

First edition hardback, a Very Good+ copy with large, faint red PURCHASED AT USPS AUCTION stamp across inside front cover, slight wrinkle at bottom rear join, and slight bumping at head and heel, in a Very Good+ dust jacket with shallow chipping and wear at head, heel and points, a long non-breaking wrinkle across front flap, and a touch of dust soiling across rear white cover; not an awful copy, but
not really collectable. Subtitled "A Science Fiction Fantasy." reportedly one of his weirdest (which is saying something).

First hardback edition, a Near Fine+ copy with slight bumping at head and heel, traces of wear there, slight wear at points and on bottom edge, some light stray lines to bottom page block, and a small circular sticker ghost to inside front cover, otherwise a tight, square copy of this key Lafferty work. Either the first or the second book of The Devil is Dead trilogy, depending on how you count. Magill, Survey of Modern Fantasy Literature page 380-382. Barron, Fantasy Literature: A Reader's Guide 4A-156 ("A Raffishly picaresque tale, full of alcoholic vigor and absurdity and typical of the effusive Lafferty's skewed perception of the world as a stage. A never less than enjoyable if far from strightforward narrative.")

First edition hardback, #66 of 100 signed copies, a Near Fine+ copy that has a tackhead-sized pull directly below the middle "m" in Mambo; given the slipcase, I'm guessing this was a manufacturing flaw, in a Fine- slipcase that's a touch dusty around the edges sans dust jacket, as issued. This and the lettered edition preceded the trade edition, and Joe has well over 126 hardcore fans. Isajenko, The World Lansdalean, A017ai.
