About This Item
Chatto & Windus, 1954. 1st edition. Hardcover. Very near fine blue boards with gilt spine lettering, slight offset strips on endpapers, pages very clean, no foxing or marks at all. In the near fine original dustjacket, not price-clipped, a little nibbling to a corner and to spine ends, slight flap edge browning. Overall, a nice copy of Huxley's famous essay on his experiences of taking the Mexican Indian drug mescalin. 'A little masterpiece - concise, evocative, wise and,above all, humane' (J.Z.Young); 'Mr Huxley's experiment is extraordinary, and is beautifully observed'(Edwin Muir).
