Item description from seller

Blue cloth binding. Gold title to spine. Discolouration where the dust jacket has a piece missing from it , which has resulted in a darker area to the top corner of the front board and the top of the spine. Very light rubbing to the very bottom of the boards .Some light spotting to the closed pages , inner pages very clean. Closed top edge is ' dusty '. The jacket has suffered some loss. Still in one peice , the front cover is missing an area some 4inches long (one inch from the front edge of the book to the back of the spine ) by 1inch reaching to 2inches at the spine. ( This is the area on the blue boards which has darkened. ) There is also some loss to the base of the spine in a square shape of half an inch by half an inch. The jacket is also 'dusty '. Red and cream , with a plane flying across it ( the logo for the Changing Worlds Library) , and the price 2/6d net to spine, Now covered in mylar - this book has character and is certainly collectable. ---- This book is ' behind the scenes of the newspaper racket - and the millionaires attempt at dictatorship.' and was an in depth reveal about the secret history of the Press and an attempt to make it understandable by all. The authors incisive comments on the use and abuse of the press for creating mass opinion must have aroused a great deal of interest in 1936 , and some of his points could still be relevant today. 154 pages.…
