Homebodies, a collection of cartoons by Charles Addams, was published in 1954. The Addams Family members on the front dust jacket should look familiar.

It's just remarkable how many eBay sellers—that's the auction site is where this book is currently listed—don't know how to keep smart phone shadows out of their photographs.
In 1954, the book retailed for $2.95. A bargain, no doubt.
Does this book have its original dust jacket or is an eighth printing of the dust jacket paired with a first printing of the book? This is not entirely clear to me from the item specifics and description.

Note: You know the drill. Collectors of books with Charles Addams originals like this one are invited to send images of such drawings here. I can usually be persuaded to post them.
