Elkin Mathews. 8vo., blue cloth lettered in gilt to spine and upper board; with cobweb design to upper; pp. [ix], x, [iii], 4-99, [iii], [3-20, ads]; with a frontispiece by Aubrey Beardsley; outer and lower edge untrimmed; spine a little faded; light spotting to outer edges and final paste-down; else a very good example, with newspaper clipping tipped-in to the ffep. First edition, second issue, as usual, one of 1000 copies. A handful of review copies were published with an alternative 'Black Coffee' frontispiece by Beardsley, but these were quickly recalled after a complaint from John Lane, who objected to his former partner (Mathews) using the same image as one which had been produced for him, and intended for use in the fifth installment of The Yellow Book. A third, remainder issue was later published with both illustrations featured.

Description:
W.H. Freeman. Oxford: W. H. Freeman and Company, 1982 8vo., bright green boards, backstrip and upper cover lettered in silver, with ISBN printed to lower; black, green and white dust jacket designed by Perry Smith; pp. [v], vi-viii, [iv], 307, [i]; a fine copy, almost as fresh as the day it was printed, save for a couple of very small spots to the edges, and pencil price now erased from the ffep. First edition. The controversial evolutionary biologist and fervent atheist Richard Dawkins rose to fame in 1976 with his publication of The Selfish Gene. In it, he builds on George C. Williams's theory of Natural Selection as a way of expressing a gene-centred view of evolution. The Extended Phenotype introduces a new biological concept, and is considered to be a direct sequel to this work. Dawkins argues that phenotype (the set of observable characteristics of an organism) should not be limited simply to biological processes such as tissue growth, but extended out to include the…
