 Rated 10/10
paper tiger very large format (c. a4, c. quarto) softcover first printing, first edition
month of publication not given in indicia: taken from locus

cover art by josh kirby (cover art for ''valentine pontifex'' robert silverberg, pan books uk p/b)
cover price £14.99, canada $36.95, usa $24.95
112pp? (check!) including titles, indicia, foreword by tom holt, brief introductions by d. r. langford etc.

undated near-identical second paper tiger printing differs:
the digit '1' is dropped from the publishing history number line, leaving '2' as the lowest number

full-colour, high-definition reproductions of over 130 of josh kirby's paintings, mostly cover art for uk sf, fantasy & horror p/bs some as early as 1963, some forn, but includes other material including previously-unadopted (no, tablettything, not eukaryotes(!)) variants, and amazing oddities such as arcimboldo heads of terry pratchett, his face decorated with/made up from josh's fantasy creatures tessalated about each other...
