Printed in Switzerland (he was banned in Germany then), Vellum-bound, top-edge gilt, this design and layout are ultra rare. I was lucky: it was just listed - just 100 euros.

Nice.
I was trying to waken a room mate after a long night of bar hopping in San Diego one morning. I yelled into his room, "Wake up, Harry! Come on. The early bird gets the worm!" He threw a pillow at me and yelled back; "And, the early worm gets eaten. So, shut up and get back in your hole!"
I always thought that was a great come back.
