Lin Carter was a very enthusiastic fan of Clark Ashton Smith.

Signed on the title-page by Carter, and limited to 500 numbered copies, although if you didn't know him, you didn't get a signed copy. About fine copy, as received. ...

PAINTED DEVILS. Scribners, N.Y., 1979. [First Edition]. Edward Gorey, cover.

By: AICKMAN, Robert

Price: $25.00

Publisher: N.Y., Scribners: 1979

Seller ID: 1000

Nine stories published earlier, but revised here for their first USA edition. The Edward Gorey d.j., is appropriately moody. Aickman's rarely scary, but his stories often leave you with the uneasy feeling they could happen to you. Most often found in its popular Book Club format, the true first edition can be a little elusive. Moderate soiling at page edges, very slight tweak to spine, 1/4" tear at upper d.j. , fore edge; two thin wrinkles at ears of d.j., do not show to the front of the book. A V.g.- book in v.g.- d.j.
