Published by Methuen & Co. Ltd, London, 1954; xiii + 97 pages, 12.5 X 19cm; "Very Good", green cloth hardback with gilt � lettering. Previously the property of Liverpool Public Libraries, with their neat armorial bookplate on front and rear paste-downs; library shelf number in gilt at the base of spine. � A rarely encountered item. *** The manuscript was prepared for � press by Mrs. Stapledon herself, and in answer to my questions � concerning the amount of editing it called for, she replied as � follows: My task was chiefly to write out the last pages of the � book, from a very fine and rather complicated pencil copy, � deciding which were the experimental phrases or words and which � the final. Also to go over the whole manuscript a good many � times, inserting pencil notes that my husband had added in the � margin, and in a few cases taking the liberty of discarding a � word or a repetition of a phrase, just as I would have done if he � had been there to ask my opinion. And he often did make small � alterations at my suggestion, because he relied on my judgement � in some things -- not all. And she proceeds to give reasons for � her belief that the book, as it stands, is not quite complete. � Several short sections had yet to be added at the end, and no � indication whatever of their contents was forthcoming. ***
