New 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall New Paperback First Edition This is the largest collection of limericks ever published, erotic or otherwise. The seventeen hundred examples gathered here stem, about one-third, from some twenty printed sources dating from 1870 to 1952, most of which duplicate each other to a great extent. The rest are principally from three oral collections, made in Ann Arbor, Michigan (MS. 1938-1941), in Berkeley, California (1942-1947), and in New York (1941-1952). An unsurpassed collection of dirty limericks carefully catalogued by theme from buggery to zoophily along with a bibliography, almost a hundred pages of notes and variants, and an excellent index. An unread copy, all pages uncut. Rare in this condition. (Parke-Bernet, Libertine Literature, 131)
