Ronald Searle along with Andre Francois and Saul Steinberg is internationally acknowledged as being one of the great graphic satirists of our time He is also one of the most original draughtsmen to have emerged this century and he has had a considerable influence on pictorial humour This splendidly witty album the first substantial study of Searle draws on his work in the last ten years most of it previously unpublished to reveal just how varied and subtle is his art Ronald Searles articulate and very personal way of expressing himself in line brought him early fame and whilst still in his twenties he was acclaimed as having effected a oneman revolution in the world of visual humour This prodigy of the 1950s did not burn out as rapidly as he rose for today fortythree years after his first appearance in print at the age of fifteen he has successfully extended his activities to include film animation printmaking painting and threedimensional work in clay But he works always with wit never losing sight of his main purpose to caricature Whether he likes it or not Searles work has slid under the jealouslyguarded fence of the fine arts but always with a laugh however wry Two experts and friends examine the man and his work Professor Henning Bocks introduction is based on some years of professional and personal acquaintance and Pierre Dehaye Director of the French Mint with whom Searle has realized a number of projects examines the humorist from another angle In addition an illustrated chapter of unexpectedly revealing biographical notes helps to fill in the picture For the record Searles basic work from 1939 is extensively documented Nevertheless to be pedantic about humour or a humorist is ridiculous in itself It should not be forgotten that the subject of this book is laughter and that it sets out to achieve two purposes to present the work of a unique artist and also to provide entertainment 233 pages

As any even vaguely addicted book collector will have swiftly learned most booksellers catalogues are written in a parallel language that can fool anyone but the cognoscenti and which makes the mysteries of the Rosetta stone or Linear B look like something out of Enid Blython Without a smattering of inside information the baffled but hopelesslybitten book buyer is drifting unarmed and unprepared into a minefield whose perilous complexities will usually only be made plain when an eagerly awaited parcel of dream volumes arrives and mangled contents are revealed in all their deceptive glory But all is not lost Help is at hand After a lifetime of avidly scanning the frequently poisonouslytinted pages of innumerable book catalogues Ronald Searle has become expert in the art of decoding those esoteric poetic and usually approximate descriptions of literary comeons Now licking his wounds he publishes his hardearned findings in this fully illustrated pioneer guide designed to foil the devious machinations of scheming and wicked booksellers for ever more No longer will the innocent book collector need to puzzle over the finer meaning of old half road good working copy blind tooled or tailedged shaved The unvarnished truth is here exposed at last both in the shocking explicit drawings and in the devastatingly frank glossary whose revelations will startle even the most battlescarred of bibliophiles The result is one of the funniest most entertaining books to have emerged from the brilliantly perceptive pen of the master No book collector and certainly no bookseller can afford to be without it even the wicked ones
