Edward Gorey auction

Over at Morbid Anatomy, Joanna informs us that tomorrow, Bloomsbury Auctions will put a number of enticing Edward Gorey items on the block. For example, Gorey designed and hand-stitched the silver bean bag bat above. Estimated price is $1000-$1500. And at left, one of Gorey's many fur coats, $800-$1200. The Edward Gorey Sale

  I’m sending a friend over to inspect and bid on one of those coats – I’m gonna bring fur back, baby.

  I have one of these items, The Helpless Doorknob–a set of 20 glossy cards meant to be shuffled into 20 to the 20th (?) different stories. I also have two signed posters of “The Gashlycrumb Tinies” and “The Chinese Obelisks”; Gorey used to sign them in bulk for Gotham Book Mart to sell during New York Is Book Country, so it’s not exactly as if they are rare.
