First printing of the first English edition of Chairman Mao's iconic 'Little Red Book', the volume that fanned the flames of Red Guard revolution in mid 1960's China. In 33 chapters, Mao outlines his brilliant, if megalomaniacal, vision of a socialist utopia and how the Chinese people could achieve it. Mao addresses topics such as 'Classes and Class Struggle', 'War and Peace', 'Serving the People', 'Revolutionary Heroism', 'Criticism and Self-Criticism' and much more, in demagogic, but eloquent and persuasive terms. With original textured red vinyl cover over soft wrappers; blind stamped title and single star on front. A slight iridescent sheen to the inside front and back vinyl covers and light yellowing of interior pages (both characteristic) - internally a pristine copy. (xi), 312 pp., 1 tissue-covered sepia portrait photo of Mao. Now a sought after collector's item -- beware later printings of the 1st edition, later editions or modern copies. Size: 13 x 9 cm.
