Three oblong octavo volumes. (34); (58); (66)pp. A complete set of three books, intended to "instruct, appall and amuse." It includes The Insect God and The West Wing, as well as the first appearance of The Gashlycrumb Tinies, one of Gorey's most beloved works. A vg+ set, with a bit wear and toning to the spines. Housed in publisher's slipcase, as issued, which shows wear and soiling; price sticker removed leaving adhesive residue.
