Brave New World by Aldous Huxley - 1932

Stated First Edition; A Very Good book in a Good Dust Jacket. A handsome copy of this First US Edition of Huxley's classic work; The first US edition much more uncommon than the first UK; scarce in collectible condition in the original dust jacket. This copy is in very good condition with a square, tight binding, mildly faded gold lettering over brown boards, and clean pages throughout; the book does show some spotting and fading to the boards, some mild fading to the top stain, some moderate age-toning to the free pages, and a previous owners name and date to the front free paper. Housed in a crisp and bright Good dust jacket that shows one long tear to the front panel (interestingly, this has been repaired to the verso with a mailing label from the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers; the repair is actually quite good), rubbing and chipping to the spine ends, edges, and corners, and some mild spotting to the front panel. Overall, a presentable and collectible copy of an important work of 20th century literature, scarce in the first US edition. Not price clipped ($2.50 intact), not ex-library; will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
