Goreyography: A Divers Compendium of and Price Guide to the Works of Edward Gorey

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Word Play Publications is pleased to announce a long-awaited bibliographic compendium on the works of Edward Gorey, Goreyography, by Henry Toledano. Four years of painstaking research into Gorey's complex output has resulted in one complete volume with over 1000 entries that include: Over 500 book entries including limited, first, foreigh, and reprint editions How to identify first editions 385 additional entries of Gorey's book cover and dust jacket illustration and design Current average values for all editions 200 magazine references by or about Gorey Where to find original Gorey art and collectibles Dates and locations of Gorey dramatic productions and art exhibits ...and much more!

Mr. Toledano is a reseasrcher (author of The Modern Library Price Guide) and bookseller whose long experience buying and selling Gorey books led to his filling the demand by libraries, booksellers, and collectors for an organized reference to Gorey's prodigious work. A major Gorey collector, Jim Weiland offers insights into obtaining and valuing Gorey ephemera and collectibles. Publisher and collector, Malcolm Whyte reviews the aesthetic importance and availability of Gorey's original paintings, drawings and signed graphics.

Numerous illustrations from Edward Gorey's books, original art and ephemera highlight the huge variety and scope of one of the most creative minds of the twentieth century, whom The New Yorker calls "an artist and writer of genius."
