A short while ago I posted the Penguin Poetry book, Comic and Curious Verse. Here's the sequal. Another brilliant cover by Stephen Russ.
Earlier in the week I was very excited to get a comment from Stephen Russ's grandson Adam who has very kindly emailed me a scan of one of the many unbound copies that he has. I'll post what he's sent next week.
beautiful!
This reminds me of another blog,

Wow..these are stunning - I am so glad to have discovered Russ' work {via Lena, via you!}...it is just divine!
I found one of his books on eBay this evening - so the collection has begun! I am so very much looking forward to seeing more of your collection unfold too...

There are earlier (and not Russ) versions of C&C verse and MC&C verse, which are nowhere near as nice (and what I own). Now I have to find these.
