About This Item
London: Routledge, 1961. Why so much? First the condition: Red boards have stains at both front and rear lower outer corners. Upper front corner of board has a small section eaten from it (probably by a mouse by the looks of it). Interior shows extensive annotation and underlining in both pen and pencil. It is still fairly tight, but shows slight effect from the considerable amount of extraneous materials that has been inserted between its leaves. This book was the property of a Professor of English. It contains the rear flap of the missing dust jacket, copious notes on loose sheets, some in handwriting, some mimeographed, and what is now a very yellowed and tattered copy of "Freedom: The Anarchist Weekly" Vol 21, No. 47, Novenber 19, 1960, which contains an article about Alex Comfort. Plus there is a broadsheet published by Vanguard Bookstore, Toronto (no date) which is a copy of an essay by Diego Rivera and Andre Breton entitled "towards a free Revolutionary Art [capitalization sic] reprinted from "Partisan Review" autumn 1938. Is it worth it?. First. Cloth. Poor/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
