A BEAUTIFUL COPY
Brave New World. “It was after midnight when the last of the helicopters took its flight. Stupefied by soma, and exhausted by a long-drawn frenzy of sensuality, the Savage lay sleeping in the heather. The sun was already high when he awoke. He lay for a moment, blinking in owlish incomprehension at the light; then suddenly remembered—everything. ‘Oh, my God, my God!’ He covered his eyes with his hand.” FIRST EDITION, a beautiful copy in the original dust jacket, of Huxley's classic dystopian novel; one of the highspots of twentieth-century literature. London: Chatto & Windus, 1932. Octavo, original cloth, original dust jacket; custom half-leather box. Bookplate of Daniel Henry Holmes Ingalls, noted Harvard professor of Sanskrit. Book fine, bright dust jacket in outstanding condition with only the slightest edgewear. $8500.
