In celebration of Edward Gorey's birthday (an occasion observed with today's Google doodle), we present a sneak preview of a new Gorey acquisition, the title of which we feel is particularly appropriate for the day: Beginning to End.
This book is the second collaboration between Gorey and author Samuel Beckett, and it is decorated throughout with illustrations of rocks and skulls, including on the paper-covered boards. All are done in Gorey's characteristic macabre style.
The fact that this is copy Z of twenty-six lettered copies in the first edition is another subtle touch that Gorey would have appreciated.
Happy Birthday, Edward.
