LEVINSON, Leonard Louis. The Left Handed Dictionary.

(New York, NY): Collier Books, 1963. First edition. Softcover (paperback original). 17.9cm by 10.6cm. 255 pages. A satirical “dictionary” in the tradition of Ambrose Bierce’s Devil’s Dictionary, comprising a sequence of sardonic, humorous, and often sharply cynical definitions of everyday terms. Levinson’s wit ranges from light wordplay to pointed social commentary, reflecting mid-century American humor with a distinctly irreverent tone. A very good copy in wrappers.
