New York: The New Yorker, July-December, 1925. 20 parts bound in full blue morocco volume, with author's bookplate. Provenance: author's copy, with Corey Ford bookplate and many inscriptions to him from fellow writers. In 1929 silent film star Joan Lowell wrote Cradle of the Deep, a memoir about a sea adventure that was later proven to be untrue.

This is Ford's own copy of the book, inscribed to him by many of his fellow New Yorker staffers, some of whom have posed for the satirical pictures throughout the book, including GEORGE PUTNAM, WILLIAM MCFEE, FELIX REISENBERG, HEYWOOD BRAUN, FRANK SULLIVAN, DON MARQUIS, WALTER TRUMBULL, CHARLES MURPHY GEORGE CHAPPELL, FRANK CROWNINSHIELD, MERRIT HULBURD, and New Yorker editor HAROLD ROSS.
