There they are, all three Ricochet Books from Véhicule Press, now joined by Al Palmer's Sugar-Puss on Dorchester Street. It's been 64 years since the story of Gisele Lepine – a/k/a Sugar-Puss – was sold at train station and drug store spinner racks. No sexigenerian copies are listed for sale online, but you can place an advance order for the brand spanking new edition (with Intro by Will Straw!) with Amazon, Chapters/Indigo or Véhicule Press itself.
Go get it, ya big lug.

ReplyDeleteHey, better that you spend your berries on books than bangtails or broads.

What I wouldn't give for one... Not much, but I'd like one just the same.
DeleteSo looking forward to this.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you'll be disappointed, Beau, it's one whacky book.
DeleteLovely. I always thought I wanted one of the wooden book shelfs that are open on all sides and spin around. Well, if you spin mine all the books fall out because the base is crooked.
ReplyDeleteAs a collector, one of my great regrets is passing on the opportunity to buy a wooden Modern Library display rack dating from the 'forties. Couldn't have afforded it - I was a student - but still.
