Show 'Em Up in Anagrams

The Perforated Game of that Noble Sport of Philosophers, Poets and Kings, 280 B.C.-1929 A.D. Blue cloth 8vo, 127pp. About Very Good with fading to the cloth, rubbing to the corners and spine ends. In a Good+ dust jacket, lacking the bottom inch of the spine and mid-rear joint. Housed in mylar wrapper.

Marketed as an "absorbing" social activity with overt 18th amendment references on the DJ (example anagrams "Men meet gin, then death" / "End the gin; tame the men" / "Meaneth gin met the end.") Three perforated columns at the edge of each page offer letter tiles for players to render their formulations, and blank lines to record the results. This copy is about 90-95% intact with only 3-5 written responses in the text. Detachable cards for sending anagrams to friends still present at rear. A pleasing tactile production intended for defacement, but still nicely preserved.
