About This Item
New York: Macaulay, 1930. First Edition. fine/near fine. 1st edition. Fine in a near fine dustjacket, fresh as a fountain soda. Black cloth, one of 2 bindings with no priority, despite guesses from Bowden D7a, since both were sold on publication day. But only our jacket is the 1st printing, and it is notoriously rare (go find another) because it was replaced almost immediately with a meeker, plainer jacket. Witty essays on the future that are dryer than Lawrence of Arabia. They're aimed at sex, love, and 10 other, less alluring subjects, and though we have all heard words of love it also has softer sounds like snaps, buttons, hooks, belts, and zippers.
