Condition:

All books are complete and sound. The three early 1920s volumes are in original publisher's cloth bindings and retain the publisher's replacement paper title labels tipped in at the rear, as issued. The spine labels have faded with age, which is common for these editions.

The books are without ownership inscriptions unless otherwise shown in photographs. General age-related wear and rubbing to bindings consistent with age. The dust jackets of Heaven and Hell and Point Counter Point are original and unclipped, with some minor chipping and wear to extremities but remain attractive examples.

A desirable group of Aldous Huxley works spanning more than three decades of the author's career, including two first editions and an uncommon first-edition copy of Heaven and Hell with its original unclipped dust jacket.

Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description and condition report.
