WOOSTER, BATTLE, Jacket, The copyright page states First U. S. Edition 2006, but the number line underneath that goes only to 2, so this appears to be the second printing. It is signed by the author/artist on the half-title page. The inscribee is an unusual one, a school. The inscription reads 'To the Wooster School, Cheers, Roz Chast.' The Wooster School is a 'private, co-educational, college-preparatory school in Danbury, Connecticut, founded in 1926 by Episcopal priest Aaron Coburn, and named for General David Wooster, who fought at the Battle of Ridgefield for the Patriot side in the American Revolution.' Ms. Chast lives in Ridgefield, Connecticut which is next to Danbury, Connecticut. The introduction to the book was written by the editor of the New Yorker which is where Ms. Chast works. You can see the covers of the book in the photos. Despite being white, they are perfectly clean. The edges and corners were in very good shape. The page edges look very good. The spine looks very good. The spine ends look very good. The only wear is a bump/crease just above the front and rear bottom corners. Importantly, neither one impacts any of the pages in the book. The inside covers and endpapers are blue. They are perfectly clean and free of wear. That may be a fair description of all of the pages in the book. I'm scrolling through them, finding quite a few chuckles but no soiling. I'm also not finding any conspicuous creasing, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. There are no markings. No attachments. And the author's signed inscription is the only writing to be found anywhere in the book. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. I have always had it in a fitted protective cover. The jacket is, like the book, perfectly clean. There are no tears. The only imperfection I see is very minor, a vague crease above the rear bottom corner. The white flaps are, you guessed it, perfectly clean. They are in excellent shape. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. There's a blurb on the front flap taken from the Introduction by Mr. Remnick: "If The New Yorker employs an artistic genius since the passing of Saul Steinberg and Williams Steig, Roz Chast is the one." Also from the dust jacket: 'Since she sold her first cartoon to The New Yorker in 1978, Roz Chast has won a place as one of our greatest artistic chroniclers of the anxieties, superstitions, furies, insecurities, and surreal imaginings of modern life. Now, in this wonderfully comprehensive collection spanning nearly three decades and arranged chronologically, the world of Roz Chast emerges as one just as distinctive as those of Charles Addams and James Thurber. Her colorful, instantly recognizable style is matched by what has been called 'the wryest pen since Dorothy Parker's. Drawn from the pages of magazines including Scientific American and Redbook as well as The New Yorker, Theories of Everything brings together, for the first time, the very best of Roz Chast.' Roz Chast has loved to draw cartoons since she was a child growing up in Brooklyn. She attended Rhode Island School of Design, and received her BFA in graphic design and painting in 1977. Shortly after graduating, however, she returned to making cartoons, and within two years joined The New Yorker, where she has been published continually since., Books<
