About this Item

Description:

Most items will be dispatched the same or the next working day. A copy that has been read but remains in clean condition. All of the pages are intact and the cover is intact and the spine may show signs of wear. The book may have minor markings which are not specifically mentioned. A good condition book. Second reprint with an introduction by Professor John Dewey. This copy includes a rare dustjacket printed with an illustration and a blurb piece on the front cover, kept in good shape within protective plastic and showing only minor loss and discolouration to it's edges, and a very faint speckle of foxing here and there. Light shelf wear to the boards and spine and spine gilding remains bright. More mild foxing to the textblock edges, pastedowns and endpapers which very rarely encroaches onto the inner pages. A few pages have hairline creases but all text remains legible. Occasional shallow cracks to the gutters but the majority of the binding remains decently tight. A solidly Good Condition book overall for it's age. The dust jacket description describes this book as 'A book that should be of the greatest benefit to the present generation. To be successful it is essential to have the fullest control of our powers; yet the majority through lack of control are unable to express themselves completely or adjust to their environment. The author gives illustrations to show that this is due to their misdirection of the use of their physical and mental mechanisms, and he here describes with commendable lucidity the technique he has developed by means of which this misdirection can be changed.'.
