It has taken me awhile but I now have a copy of Edward Gorey's The Vinegar Works: Three Volumes of Moral Instruction to add to my ever growing collection of Gorey paraphernalia. My husband Joel came home with a near mint box set that he purchased from Ebay for an extremely reasonable price. How we do love that fabulous website, and I often wonder what I would do without it, but back to Gorey because that is what this site is all about.
There are two different box sets available; one that contains 7 volumes and the one that I now own that contains 3 volumes. The 3 volume box set consists of three different books; The Gashlycrumb Tinies, The Insect God, and The West Wing. All copies are noted first editions and were printed by Simon and Schuster, New York in 1963.
So even though my collection is growing in leaps and bounds it is really never enough - but that is usually the way it is for us avid bibliophiles.
