First Edition of the collected, highly celebrated prefaces to his plays by George Bernard Shaw, from Major Barbara and Mrs. Warren's Profession to Saint Joan and Pygmalion. These prefaces, Shaw writes, are "quite journalistic in character, and cover a period of nearly thirty years." Shaw continues: "You may well ask me why I took the trouble to write them. I can only reply that I do not know. There was no why about it: I had to: that is all." A solidly pleasing copy in the original dust jacket with some edgewear and a few chips. Book #Pv4234. $50. We specialize in Rare Ayn Rand, history, and science.
