Thurber Thursday On A Friday
[Thurber Thursday was delayed until today because of the passing of Robert Gottlieb]
Regular Spill readers might recall that I enjoy accidentally running across “different” covers for Thurber’s books. Today I came across a UK edition of In A Word, a book written by Margaret Ernst, with drawings by Thurber. Amazing that after decades of searching, something “new” continues to pop up online.
The first US edition (published by Knopf) was published in 1939. It appears below left. On the right is the UK edition, also published in 1939 (published by Hamish Hamilton). Would be great to see the rest of the dustjacket, but this seems to be, at present, the only online photo of the UK edition.

Drawing from Lila Ash’s personal experiences during her childhood, teen years, and into her adult relationships, Decodependence will resonate with readers who are looking to better understand their own potential codependent relationship behaviors.
