Stapledon /
The Opening Of The Eyes

Euros Postfree-By-Airmail Worldwide ♦
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. ***
