Les Hommes sont Meschants mais leur Livres sont Bons (Leo Wyatt)

$50.00

If there’s one thing we’re always saying, it’s that les hommes sont meschants mais leur livres sont bons. And then people shout, This is America! Speak English! So, in lowered tones we comply through clenched teeth: Men are wicked but their books are good. And then they say What about women? And then we say You have a point, but that’s not how Google translated it. Anyway, this is a nice bit of lettering and engraving by Leo Wyatt printed at Leonard Baskin’s Gehenna Press in 1968, that reminds us that outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend.
