The Blue Aspic [Cover title: Der Traurige Zwolfpfunde].

New York: Meredith Press, 1968. First Edition. Hardcover. Small oblong hardcover. (lxivpp.) Illustrated paper-covered boards, with the design repeated on the dust jacket. Approx. 30 full page plates, with text on facing page. Described by the publisher as "An opera book without libretto or score, which nevertheless portrays the tragedy of unrequited love, the peril of fame, the intrigue of backstage life, the nefarious scheming of the very rich, and a profound moral." Obviously through Gorey's unique perspective. Edges lightly rubbed, a little general shelf-wear, pages somewhat evenly toned, overall a tight, clean VG+ copy in VG+ dust jacket (lightly rubbed, moreso at edges and folds, not price-clipped, now protected by removable mylar sleeve). Item #70368
