Hi! You're looking at an excellent condition book which is a definitive biography of British author and philosopher ALDOUS HUXLEY written by SYBILLE BEDFORD--the book is a RARE and hard to find collectible STATED FIRST AMERICAN EDITION and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET and is NOT a remainder copy and NOT price-clipped, with the original $15.00 price in the upper corner of the front inner flap. This book is in excellent condition and the book itself has some light shelfw...ear on the cloth cover and very light evidence of gentle browsing but NO other significant imperfections; the dustjacket has a small tear on the bottom left edge of the front cover, two tiny tears and a slight crease on the upper edge of the back cover, a couple of tiny dings and tears on the upper spine tip and just very light shelfwear otherwise but NO other significant imperfections!  The book is titled Aldous Huxley: A Biography and it was written by SYBILLE BEDFORD; it was published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1974 and is a STATED 1st AMERICAN EDITION copy.Grandson of the scientific philosopher Thomas Henry Huxley, great-nephew of Matthew Arnold, Aldous Huxley was born at the very heart of England's humanist elite in its golden days - a complicated, brilliant, charming boy who, despite almost total loss of sight at 16, became a cultural hero of the decades after World War I. From the iconoclastic wit of novels such as "Crome Yellow" and "Point Counter Point" in the 1920s, his literary career changed direction with "Brave New World" in 1932. A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
