Thanks to user B-Baily at Livejournal, we caught a glimpse of this little-known book of dubious etiquette, illustrated by the immortal Edward Gorey. But the book got a little too much attention, and the post was deleted from Livejournal. Fortunately, Joey deVilla snagged the whole thing at his blog, so if you have not yet had a chance to read this remarkable text, head on over. It's hilarious.
ROTFL! I have tears running down my face from laughing!!
Thank you so much for this. Just what I needed after a freaking 3 hour meeting first thing monday morning!
And here I thought that deflowering was a consequence of global warming. Oh well, we live and learn....
If you are ever in Richmond, VA, stop by the rare books collection at VCU's main library. They have virtually every one of Edward Gorey's books (including this one) as well as a mind-boggling assortment of comics history... and art books. Mmm.
