THE BOOK OF GENESIS: ILLUSTRATED BY ROBERT CRUMB HC
(W/A) Robert Crumb

Bible as it really was. First serialized in The New Yorker, this graphic work is
now available in a collected edition. Also available in a Limited Hardcover
Edition, slipcased with a signed print, limited to 500 copies. (C: 0-1-2)

STITCHES HC
(W/A) David Small
One day David Small awoke from a supposedly harmless operation to discover that
he had been transformed into a virtual mute. A vocal cord removed, his throat
slashed and stitched together like a bloody boot, the young boy had not been
told that he had throat cancer and was expected to die. Small, a prize-winning
children’s author, re-creates a life story that might have been imagined by
Kafka. Readers will be riveted by his journey from speechless victim to his
decision to flee his home at sixteen with nothing more than dreams of becoming
an artist. Stitches will transform adolescent and adult readers alike with its
deeply liberating vision. (C: 0-1-2)

SPY VS SPY TP'S
(W/A) Antonio Prohias
Spy vs. Spy was a long-running feature of MAD Magazine. These stories, some of
which have been out of print for over 40 years, are now collected into three
volumes — Danger, Intrigue, Stupidity; Masters of Mayhem; and Missions of
Madness. The crazed work of Antonio Prohias enthralled readers with its madcap
adventure and derring-do; now these stories are introduced by longtime MAD
editor John Ficarra. (C: 0-1-2) NOTE: This item may be available through other
