About This Item
London: Werner Laurie, 1929. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. First UK Edition. The VG book is firmly bound in clean red cloth lettered and bordered in black, the extremities are slightly bumped and rubbed. The text block is age toned and foxed with minor marks. The D/W is the original and is priced 7/6 net to the spine (as called for). The VG D/W is slightly rubbed, grubby and marked, with minor nicks and short closed tears to the edges, some repaired or strengthened to the reverse with small pieces of archival tape. A deliberately controversial title from Gallichan, a journalist for the Daily Mail, promoter of sex education and a strong eugenics advocate. NB: The D/W says: "Sterilization and the Unfit" whereas the title page says: "Sterilization of the Unfit". Bizarre and disturbingly one of the foundations of the Nazi philosophy. Rare. Photographs/scans available upon request.
