A very good example of the special limited edition of the first part of Wyndham Lewis' trilogy The Human Age, published simultaneously with an ordinary edition of 2500 copies (of which 1000 were destroyed by the publisher). The second & third parts, Monstre Gai and Malign Fiesta, were not published until 1955, in response to a request from the BBC for Wyndham Lewis to complete the work for broadcast.

First edition, 'Special Edition', number 142 of 225 copies signed by the author; 8vo; browning to free endpapers; publisher's yellow buckram, top edge gilt, others uncut, some minor marking, spine slightly rolled.
