Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Printed in the U.S.A. First American Edition. [Date from the copyright page.] First Printing. (Number line is complete.) Frontispiece, Preface, Chronology, Index; 992 pages. The original charcoal-gray cloth is in excellent shape, with just a hint of rubbing at the bottom edge; silver lettering on the spine is sharp and clear. The interior has hot-yellow endpapers; its leaves are supple and creamy-bright despite a few pale freckles to the top-edge; it is completely clean. The original unclipped dustjacket ($15.00) shows a little toning with one tiny chip in the front corner. This is a lovely copy. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] Gleaned from the flaps: The letters in this extraordinary work, provide a feast of pleasures---an insider's view of a half-century of intellectual life in England, on the Continent, and, extensively, in the United States. Huxley perhaps wrote at the very least ten thousand letters The present compilation represents therefore a choice of fewer than two-fifths of the known items. Predominating here is material selected for its biographical, literary, or philosophical qualities. Included are a variety of subjects---music, literature, zoology, psychology, medicine, painting, movies, theatre, and mystical religions---on which he writes with ease, often with passion, never without humanity." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking. Please note there is no extra charge for domestic book-rate; however, priority costs may have to be doubled, and may incur unusual delays due to COVID.
First edition. Hardcover. Some foxing on the top and fore edges, boards corners lightly bumped, otherwise fine in very good dustjacket a touch soiled on the back panel ($ price intact). A handsomely and well-bound edition (nearly 1000 pages with index), of letters which begin in 1899 and end in 1963. With a photographic frontispiece of Huxley. This heavy book will cost more to send overseas, than any default postage rate noted.
