Sight Unseen: Edward Koren In Sloth

Sometimes a stock photo just isn't enough to make the call on a book purchase. A copy of Edward Koren's Do You Want to Talk About It? (1976) boasts "an original drawing by the artist of one of his monsters, the long snouted one with big circle eyes and three protruding teeth, lying in bed, under the covers and with his left hand, writing the following message on a card propped on an easel[:] "For Susan—In Sloth—Ed Koren." There's also a gift inscription above that. Is this book a worthy purchase, sight unseen, for $60? Let's find out.

And now, we come to the actual book. Was it indeed worth pursuing? Personally, I have no regrets.
