Domesday Book by Ed Fisher (1961), St Martin's Press, Hardcover with Dust Jacket

This is Ed Fisher's Domesday Book, More Cartoons-of-the-Realm, a 1961 St Martin's Press hardcover in its red dust jacket.

The dust jacket shows minor wear, and there is pencil writing on the first page, as the listing says.

The jacket flap calls it a cartoon album with philosophical overtones and the author's third book, and it says Fisher was a regular contributor to The New Yorker, Punch, Harper's, Esquire, The Saturday Review, and The Spectator. The copyright page credits cartoons first printed in Esquire, Harper's, Look, Punch, The Saturday Review, Spectator, and The New Yorker, and the back cover cartoon is captioned My God! I've been wiped out!

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
