382pp. Deep blue cloth boards with decorations and gilt lettering. Tiny scuff on lower leading corner, else bright, fresh, clean, neat and square throughout. In its original, price-clipped dust jacket (showing very mild shelf wear). This innovatory anthology of aphorisms shows just how rewarding the art form is, and just how brilliantly the aphorist can illume the hidden truth or lay bare the ironies of existence.
