Simon and Schuster, New York, 1952.  Hard cover, unpaginated.  Orange and black boards with silver foil lettering on spine.  Light corner wear, spine ends lightly bumped, some shelf wear.  Binding sound with a very slight lean; some soil/small stains on outer page block.  Dust jacket has edge and cover wear, short tears, small losses at corners, some age toning and soil.  Book interior clean and unmarked with some age spotting; pages only lightly tanned.  ‘Here, in one big volume, selected specifically for their appeal to an American sense of humor, are more than 250 such proofs.  Apart from the jokes, Americans will also enjoy the unconventional and masterly art work of such talented cartoonists as Emett, Sprod, Francois, and many others whose drawings have not been seen before in this country.’ (from front flap)
