HUXLEY, Aldous (1894-1963)

Brave New World. A Novel. London: Chatto & Windus, 1932.

A bright copy of the first edition, limited issue, number 246 of 324 copies signed by Huxley. 'It is a Utopia which is never dull, of which the horror is always credible as one's sympathies grow more involved with the fate of the young primitive ... who challenges the machine.' Connolly, The Modern Movement 75.



Octavo. Half-title (one tiny area of finger-soiling in blank margin of p.4, otherwise crisp and clean). Original yellow cloth, top edge gilt, others uncut (cloth with some faint spotting, heavier to spine).
