Penguin, Middlesex, 1967.  MMPB, 201 pages.  Worn wraps have edge and cover wear, corner and reading creases, diagonal crease on rear, age toning and some stains primarily on rear wrap with what appears to be some glue residue.  Prior owner’s name stamped on top page block, price stamped on lower page block.  Binding sound.  Interior clean and unmarked with tanned pages.  “… the author switches to the future and shows us life as he conceives it may be some thousands of years hence.  Written in the thirties when – whatever the immediate outlook may have been – people believed that ultimately all would be for the best in the best of all possible worlds, this novel is a warning against such optimism.  With irrepressible wit and raillery, Huxley satirizes the idea of progress put forward by the scientists and philosophers; and his world of test-tube babies and ‘feelies’ is uncomfortably closer now than it was when the book was first published.” (from rear wrap)
