4.0 out of 5 stars Gorey's Broken Spoke, August 12, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Broken Spoke (Hardcover)
Typical Edward Gorey drawings and as always highly amusing. Gorey presents the book as a series of postcards & in the preface, says this is the first joining between bicycles and postcards.

As always, Gorey has a gift for odd combinations and for catching the humor in things. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars A collection of bicycling post cards that are art, September 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Broken Spoke (Hardcover)
EG's love for bicycling shows up here as we look at postcards about bikes from all over the world. Some of the pictures feature characters who appear in other EG books. I like the cover the best.
