THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY AMBROSE BIERCE DOVER 1958 FACSIMILE OF CLASSIC 1911 BOOK

Description: THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY AMBROSE BIERCE DOVER 1958 FACSIMILE OF 1911 CLASSIC SATIRIC VOLUME Famed volume originally published in 1911 features caustic aphorisms collected by Bierce in the Devil's Lexicographer and who was subsequently dubbed The Wickedest Man in San Francisco. First published as The Cynic's Word Book (1906) and later reissued under its preferred name in 1911, Bierce's notorious collection of barbed definitions is a satirical work that adds a wry and caustic twist to everyday words that Bierce felt were not defined to reflect their real world actions and actors. Book with original $1.25 cost is in overall very good condition. Cover shows some very minor wear. Spine and back cover are in nice shape. Interior pages are off white/very light tan, free of any rips, tears, creases or stains. A great and irreverent read from Abasement to Zoology.
