About This Item
London: Chatto & Windus, 1954. Third printing. Hardcover. pp. 62. 12mo. Blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Boards quite spotted: does not extend past the cloth, and the book has no odour, so while it looks like damage from moisture exposure, the usual attendant issues are absent. Text is clean and unmarked, binding sound. Dustjacket shows some corresponding spots, chiefly to verso, as well as a few small chips at edges, and a cup ring and two tape repairs to rear panel. Not clipped. Huxley's famous essay about his experience with psychedelics and the implications extrapolated therefrom.
