"What a wonderful compilation of the works of this unusual and extremely gifted artist! While Charles Addams is a household name, that of Edward Gorey still brings looks of puzzlement whenever it comes up in conversation. I personally feel he has never received the acclaim justly due him, but then again, his works certainly will not be to everyone's taste. At times his stories are beyond comprehension, but perhaps that was his intention--to leave us guessing or use our own imagination to fill in the gaps. Be that as it may, the illustrations are worth the price of the book alone. If you love Edward Gorey and would rather have some of his works together in one volume, do yourself a favor and purchase this book. But be prepared to enter his personal weird and at times incomprehensible world."

• What a wonderful compilation of the works of this unusual and extremely gifted artist! While Charles Addams is a household name, that of Edward Gorey still brings looks of puzzlement whenever it comes up in conversation. I personally feel he has never received the acclaim justly due him, but then again, his works certainly will not be to everyone's taste. At times his stories are beyond comprehension, but perhaps that was his intention--to leave us guessing or use our own imagination to fill in the gaps. Be that as it may, the illustrations are worth the price of the book alone. If you love Edward Gorey and would rather have some of his works together in one volume, do yourself a favor and purchase this book. But be prepared to enter his personal weird and at times incomprehensible world.
• Edward is marvelously strange, and an amazing illustrator with fine line drawing leaving no space unfilled.
• Another great book by the beloved Edward Gorey!
• Love this anthology, many classics, and stops me from hunting down individual books
• Very Humorous, great classic art, and if you get it then you will not have hideous offspring, if you don't then ma by you all ready do ?
• I have enjoyed all of Edward Gorey's books. I love the art and the hilarious names of characters and story titles. I chose this as my first to collect but intend getting the other Amphigorey books at a later date.
  These books would not be everyone's "cup of tea" but readers who enjoy somewhat macabre and weird books should enjoy these.
• If you're an Edward Gorey fan, this is a good purchase. Several of his stories all put together in one book. Great buy.
• The books in this series (Amphigorey, Amphigorey Too and this one) benefit from the warped wit of Gorey, but the size of the images is so small that it becomes difficult to make out the fine details. I like to read them to my kids (ages 9 and 12) but we have to be all scrunched together to make out the visuals.
