1945005917np Greenwich CT: np 1945. Unpublished Typescript w/ manuscript illustrations. Elbe no. 27 Binder. Near Fine. Unpaged 120-140 pp recto only including bibliography. 29cm. Tall quarto. Black leatherette Elbe no. 27 spring binder with title in pencil on masking tape spine label. There's an ingenious system of chapter markers made from cloth reinforcements numbered in pen poking out from the fore edge they're worn but still serviceable. Copiously illustrated in both graphite and pen & ink with roughly half the drawings traced and half rendered freehand. Pages are ribbon copy typescript with original drawings in-text a feat unto itself. Book condition: Minor chipping to the spine ends of the binder worn chapter markers else fine. The illustrations range from accomplished to clumsy; serious to whimsical not always on purpose. There is both precision drafting and true art brut. The lack of even the slightest sense of humor doesn't help the author's cause which is coming from a place hostile to organized religions of all stripes. One experiences the growing sense of incredulity from the very first as the author's grasp of logic is revealed to be of an altogether different nature.<br /> <br /> There's a lot of work in this book though. We respect the fact that it's exactly one more book than we've ever written. Still the effort to turn virtually every single religious symbol ever created into elaborate phalli bristling with menace can grow so to speak tiresome. np unknown
