First Edition, hardcover in black cloth. Light wear to bottom tips. Near Fine white pictorial dust jacket, light wear and soiling, now in Mylar. 305 pp. Includes black-and-white and full-color reproductions of 300 of macabre American cartoonist Charles Addams' illustrations and 25 of his 65 New Yorker cover paintings. From inside the dust jacket: "A retrospective celebration of the ominous, lovable, dark, and infinitely hilarious art of one of America's greatest cartoonists. A lavish projection of the world he created: a world of agreeably murderous spouses, devishly precocious children, bright-eyed witches, spooky laboratories, crypts, and tunnels...and of the super-Victorian house we now call by his name, and its inhabitants, that surreal all-American clan beloved by all America--the Addams Family."
