About This Item
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1956. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Two-tone blue cloth with orange spine lettering, pictorial dust jacket. 103pp. Near fine/very good. Faintest touch of rubbing to spine head/tail; jacket faintly edgeworn. Handsome, tight first edition of this challenging-to-summarize slim study that might best be described as the English writer and philosopher's ruminations on vision and perception, parapsychology and consciousness, especially as these factors affect reaction to works of art. Quite a lovely copy.
