[clean and flawless book; jacket very nearly so, with just a touch of handling wear]. INSCRIBED to friends and SIGNED by the author twice on the ffep, in 1963 and again in 1966 (to the same couple, "George and Jo," as yet unidentified by my research), the later inscription making humorous reference to "the occasion of the first teletransmission between Stradella and Linda Flores," likely a reference to their respective Brentwood households.

[a very nice copy, light wear to bottom edge, slight dust-soiling to page edges; jacket shows light wear at extremities, one tiny tear and associated crease at top left-hand corner of front panel].

[very slight deterioration to cloth along bottom edge, minor bumping/slight fraying at top rear corner, old price sticker affixed to upper corner of ffep, still quite a nice example of this cheaply-produced book; jacket browned with age (especially at spine), but complete with just a touch of chipping at top of spine, bookstore name rubber-stamped at bottom of rear panel]. Agitprop from the writer who "found enduring inspiration in his Socialist faith." Contains the following essays (original publication dates noted): "The Apostate" (1906); "The Dream of Debs" (1909)... View More...
