Huxley's 1930 essay is a somewhat disjointed but ultimatly very memorable set of musings on vulgarity, as a literal phenomenon. The attitude of the book reflects the way his own fiction was going at the time, as he entered a phase where often startling and grotesque images would feature in his stories. A great test for critical work is one where you never look at subject the same way after reading. This essay certainly passes the test. A great read for deep thinkers. Condition is very good with dust cover, however some yellowing and scuffs to the spine as customary to a book of this life span.

The book offers an exhilerating chance to find out. The book is in fine condition, signs of age as is expected with a paper book of this life span.
