This was Perelman's third book of satiric pieces from The New Yorker and other magazines. They include "Down With the Restoration!", "Captain Future, Drop That Kick!",. "Yoo-Hoo, Mr. Ectoplasm!", "A Child's Garden of Extroversion" and 20 others. 249 pages. Modest cover corner wear, some wrinkling on spine ends, browning by hinges of end papers and creasing, wrinkling and short tears on two pages., which are pretty lightly toned. No writing and binding is secure. The jacket has chipping, most notably at bottom of front cover and top of spine, amd some tearing, creasing on spine and some tape residue on front cover. Still a functional cover with no price clip on the front flap. This first printing is scarce in the dust jacket.
