In 1970, Charles Addams presented his friend Fleur with a copy of the 1962 reissue of Drawn and Quartered (1942), the cartoonist's first collection. The inscription, written in French, may have been a bit tricky for him but the drawing of Morticia standing in a cemetery certainly was not. Meier and Sons Rare Books has acquired a number of the books and letters received by Fleur from Addams; with such strong examples the bookseller has priced them accordingly.
