I’ve seen the whole thing as soon as Jane posted the link but now it is indeed gone. From what I’ve read on other sites who managed to save some of it before it disappeared, the entry has been deleted. Probably due to the book piracy thing.

The link didn’t work for me either. *Hard* refresh and all.

Hilarious – and the advice at the bottom in response to these situations – no wonder you told us to hold the beverages. If I had been drinking I’d have it dripping down the screen, all over my keyboard, and frying my laptop. And the editor really hopes this guide will be beneficial to the daughters of the new generation as it was to their mothers? I hope that was meant ironically or the troubled youth will be so much more troubled.

Your link gives a “No Such Entry” page.

And I really want to see this….

I think I fixed the email this link. You’ll need to do a hard refresh.

I haven’t had a chance to read them yet but I saved every jpeg to my computer so that I can do so later when I have more time! They look hilarious – thanks for sharing!

I was about to mention copyright, but Ann beat me to it. Mind you, now I want to buy a copy to give to friends … but the $100+ price tag is prohibitive. Maybe as a wedding present. lol

Also, Jane, the E-mail this Post link doesn’t seem to work.

That book is still in copyright. So posting pictures of all the pages like that is no different from any other book pirating site, is it?

I adore Gorey's books. I have a couple of omnibus editions of some some of his books-- Amphigorey and Amphigory, too. The Beastly Baby is one of my favorites. These books which are oversized collections are really quite reasonable on Alibris.com if anyone wants to check out a delightfully twisted soul.

Incredible gem! I have two Gorey-illustrated books, with text by T. S. Eliot and John Ciardi, but I’ll take Juffe’s text over theirs any day!

Now I have to find that book.
What a treasure… although I am sad that I had to look up marimba.
I’m jealous as can be of the Chinese detective de-flowering. All the years I gave to Chan and that little twit got him.

What a find! LOL at the illustrations. Page 21′s has a bulging crotch and flipper feet .
That was a great laugh and I wish I had it on my bookshelf.
