Zamboni Rodeo posted:Pretty sure I have this edition too. I collect various versions of Alice, and my favorite by far is an early edition of The Annotated Alice. There've been new editions published since then with more annotations added, but at the time the first Annotated volume came out, it was the most comprehensive book of Alice information available. Just catching up with this thread, and yeah, I've got a couple of copies of The Annotated Alice - an old hardback with a brown dust jacket, and a modern large-format red hardback.

I think you're looking for Alice's Adventures Underground - this is the edition I have. Might be out of print, but you should be able to find a copy. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alices-Adv...81926065&sr=8-3

I've just moved house and the move has uncovered a lot of books from my youth that I'd almost forgotten about, so here's a little post about one of the odder examples. Musrum, by Eric Thacker and Anthony Earnshaw.  Wikipedia tells me that Earnshaw was a self-educated working class man from Leeds, England, who ended up a teacher at several Yorkshire schools. Musrum is a very odd book - Wikipedia says "In 1968 Earnshaw collaborated with Thacker on an illustrated novel, Musrum, which was not commercially successful, but has become a cult classic. The book is a fantasy, peppered with aphorisms ("Sudden prayers make God jump"), and tells the story of the title character's kingdom and of his battle with the nefarious Weedking."   It's absurdist stuff, but the thing that caught my eye a couple of decades ago, the thing that made me buy the book, is the illustrations. Page after page of variations on themes - wolves, castles, dressing tables (!).    So many good tattoo designs!       There's a sequel, too, if anyone's interested?

My partner has just moved in and brought a bunch of interesting books, some of which I'll share here, I think. She was given this, new, in the early-ish 1970s, and her copy is pretty... used. But I do like Robert Crumb. I don't think that, at 6-y-o, she knew what a Fi e Joint Soup is.
