George's Copy of Phantasmagorey: The Work of Edward Gorey
Phantasmagorey: The Work of Edward Gorey is a 1974 catalogue compiled by Clifford Ross. It is not likely to be found in the library of the casual Edward Gorey collector. A copy offered by Reilly Books of Richmond is unusual in that Gorey did not strike out his printed name when signing it, something we saw in the only other copy of the book on this blog which is fairly typical for the author. It is also rare in that is the first signed Gorey book we have seen here that is personalized with a short inscription: "For George." For anyone mulliing the purchase of Phantasmagorey, this might just be the copy to own.
