Er, no, this post isn't about what you think it's about. Unless you think it's about a 1965 social etiquette book written to prepare a girl for
every eventuality (so long as it involves
deflowerment). It's by
Gorey, if that gives you a hint.
A friend passed this along to me, and it may very well be the best thing I've ever seen.
Amazon's got nothing, but if anyone ever comes across one of these for me, I will
marry you.
It's full of wonderful Gorey illustrations, as well as delightful little notes from the authoress, "Miss Hyacinthe Phyppe," after each scenario. For example, following "Deflowered by Proxy," Miss H.P. advises,
"When married to practical joker, it is always delightfully feminine to go along with gag."
