About this Item
Classic work by Marshall McLuhan. FIRST UK EDITION. HARDCOVER. "With the aid of the typographical and design ingenuity of Quentin Fiore, this book has been made an inventory of effects, an exposition of Marshall McLuhan's prophecies of the electronic age which may shatter one's sense of what a book is for ever. This is not a treatise but a happening, not a message but a massage." Co-ordinated by Jerome Agel. Numerous b&w photographs and illustrations throughout. Wonderful vintage cover b&w photograph by Tony Rollo for Newsweek of a woman in a "Love" dress. First published in the USA in 1967, this copy is the first UK edition, also 1967. Large format. Printed in Great Britain. Bound in original b&w striped boards, in publisher's unclipped pictorial dustjacket. The dustjacket is now protected in a removable clear Bro-dart cover. Slight shelfwear, otherwise a very nice clean tight solid hardcover copy. 160pp. Scarce First UK Hardcover Edition. RARE. SB-35. Seller Inventory # 022004
