Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Fair dj. First Edition. [good sound copy with light wear to the extremities; the jacket is a bit of a mess, however, with numerous tears, paper loss at most corners, front flap nearly detached, etc. (now held together by a new mylar cover)]. (pen and ink drawings) A sort of risque travel diary, wri…tten by a mother-and-daughter team in a style that I can't adequately summarize. The narrative voice switches from the third person to the first person (with numerous interjections of "I, Vicky" or "I, Dottie," just to help you keep track of whose account you're reading, I guess, although it hardly matters). Every so often one of them (Vicky, usually, it seems) will break into verse -- her doggerel is scattered throughout -- and the chronicle is illustrated with some of the crudest drawings you'll encounter this side of a first-grade art class (most of which seem to involve the nudity of one or both of the ladies, for reasons I can't quite fathom). Jack Woodford provides some of the jacket blurbs ("A High Class Book With Low Chuckles"), and also provided the Foreword, which is basically a four-page rant against marriage. I can at least say this: the book isn't quite like anything else you'll ever come across. Illustrated by Dottie Webster (illustrator).
