About this Item
First edition, first draft privately mimeographed before the trade edition. Presentation copy from the Institute of General Semantics signed by Alfred Korzybski on a bookplate mounted to the verso of the front wrap. This book was instrumental in popularizing Korzybski's work. [ii] 100 pp. printed on rectos only. Spiral bound stiff wrappers. Fine, a little toned with age and lightly rubbed, superior to most extant copies given the book's cheap production and fragility. Bookplate on verso of front wrap of C.B. Farrar, who may be the influential psychiatrist Clarence Bynold Farrar. The author's first and most influential work; he would later become a U.S Senator from California. [Shearer, J.G. S. I. Hayakawa and Margedant Peters Hayakawa: From Semantics to the U. S. Senate p.84]. Seller Inventory # 140942666
