Block, Lawrence Ronald Rabbit is a Dirty Old Man
NY: Bernard Geis Associates 1971 0870350277 / 9780870350276 First Edition Hard Cover Near Fine Good
First edition. A near fine copy in a good dust jacket with two closed tears and some internal staining (better than it sounds; still looks nice in mylar). Block's uproarious and infamous cult novel. His jacket credit reads: "Lawrence Block, shown on the back jacket pretending to read a filthy book to his two innocent children, has written several novels under various aliases, low ceilings and threats of exposure. He divides his time between a New York apartment and a farm in New Jersey, and his activities in both places are too nefarious to contemplate. However, any resemblance between Lawrence Block, author, and Laurence Clarke, hero of RONALD RABBIT IS A DIRTY OLD MAN, is entirely."

Hammond, Percy, George C. Wharton, Albert Olson (Illustrator), and W. M. Rhoads (Designer) Poker Smoke and Other Things

First printing. Hardcover, buckram cloth with pictorial cover label, illustrations and text printed in blue and orange. Rules, recipes, toasts, smokes, and mixed drinks, all accompanied by comic illustrations of turn-of-the-century cops, babes, and ethnics. This was probably "politically incorrect" even then!

Quite scarce!
