About This Item
Fontwell, Sussex: Centaur Press Ltd. 1972. First edition, first printing. First edition, first printing. Author's own copy. Publisher's original blue cloth with titles in gilt to the spine, in dustwrapper. Centaur Press blind-stamp to the half title page. Contemporary press reviews of the work affixed to the front pastedown and front free endpaper. Original publisher's advertising pamphlet for the work loosely laid in, along with other related cuttings. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with a few minor marks to the boards. The contents with scattered foxing to the edges of the textblock are otherwise in very good order. Complete with two identical original dustwrappers, both in very good condition with some marking to the spine panel of one and a little toning and shelf wear to the extremities of both. Not price-clipped (£1.50 net to the front flap). A manifesto for a more positive, active mode of resistance to "our chief social ills" ("a narrowly specialist educational programme designed to produce industrial automata; a consumer society brainwashed by mass media into valuing goods and machines over those who produce them; the perpetuation of a cult of violence and indifference to suffering that degrades and brutalises") by the author, publisher, Quaker, and campaigner for pacifism, vegetarianism and animal rights, Jon Wynne-Tyson (1924-2020). Provenance: from the library of Jon Wynne-Tyson. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
