The Little Limerick Book -1955 Peter Pauper Press edition

There once was a slim book of verse, With limericks witty and terse. Each rhyme caused delight, Though the book was quite slight, Making readers both chuckle and curse! Brought to you with love from the always eclectic Peter Pauper Press, this saucy collection of raw and ribald lyrical humour from the mid 50s is illustrated by Henry Read Martin -- career-wise about 10 years prior to his ascent to the pantheon of great 'New Yorker' cartoon artists. - The Little Limerick Book [An Uncensored Collection] Published 1955, The Peter Pauper Press, Mount Vernon, New York Hardcover. Approx. 4.5x7.5in. 62pp. Dustjacket is worn at edges; has a tear at bottom of spine. Book itself is in good shape and looks fantastic. [Personally I'd just ditch the dustjacket but I know some of you collectors out there like to have the dj].
