First edition of Mitford's classic study. Octavo, original cloth. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Janet Halverson. Author's photograph by Seymour Linden. First editions are uncommon.
Only the scathing wit and searching intelligence of Jessica Mitford could turn an exposé of the American funeral industry into a book that is at once deadly serious and side-splittingly funny. When first published in 1963, this landmark of investigative journalism became a runaway bestseller and resulted in legislation to protect grieving families from the unscrupulous sales practices of those in "the dismal trade."
