Huxley, Aldous After Many a Summer
U.K. Penguin Books. 1959 #1049. Second Penguin Books Edition. Mass Market Paperback. Fair. Water Touched. $.75 is the original price. Originally, this edition wasn't for sale in the U.S. 251 pages, plus book advertising at the back of the book. Mostly tight binding, but opens easily at a several pages. Light beige paper, water rippled, from the Spine side, to the outer right edge.
Front Cover: Water ripples at the middle, and slightly darkened by water.
Spine: Partially torn at the middle, with some rolling.
Back Cover: Water rippled at the middle.
In General: A name, in red ballpoint, is printed at the top of the first page. The book isn't perfectly square, as originally published, but has a section of pages slightly sticking out. However, it appears to be a stitched book, so doubt if anything will happen. I applied some Library glue to the Spine, just in case, as we do small repairs, if necessary, and it's possible.
Story: A rich person's attempt to prolong life indefinitely. Not as far fetched, today, of course. 002335
