The Tale of Driver Grope - Signed/Doodled by Ralph Steadman

Published by Dobson Books, London, 1969. Hardcover. First edition of The Tale of Driver Grope by Richard Ingrams (founding editor of Private Eye), illustrated by Ralph Steadman — an early pre-Gonzo work, unpaginated, copiously illustrated with vignettes and two double-page illustrations.

Signed by Ralph Steadman for the previous owner directly to the opening page of text, with an improvised sad-face doodle worked around the opening words. A characterful and appealing association copy.

Condition: Fine. A remarkably clean copy. Near Fine price-clipped dustjacket. Scarce in this condition.
