Horizontal fold creases throughout, else in fine condition. 5.5 x 24.5 inches (14 x 62.2 cm.).

A RARE LOOK AT THE WRITER AT WORK on a subject that was very significant to Wells's worldview and his politics. Wells's corrections and additions offer insight into his strong views on the Great Society, individualism, and the intellectual.
