1925Best.-Nr. 403-3379New York: George H. Doran 1925. Very Good in the publisher's brown paper-covered boards half-bound in ivory vellum. Burgundy leather spine-label gilt-stamped. Top-edge gilt. 266pps. Neither the rare dustjacket nor the slipcase are present. There is modest sunning and wear in the area of the spine. The boards have light touches of soiling. Internally there is some browning to the endpapers and a previous owner's unassuming namestamp is near the top of the ffep and again on the rear pastedown; there is a spot of browning also on pgs 178-179 from where a newspaper clipping had been laid in. The binding is slightly brittle though sound with all pages intact. Other than the aforementioned minor flaw to page 178 the text is in excellent clean condition. One of 250 copies SIGNED by Huxley on a limitation page. ".Some people travel on business some in search of health. But it is neither the sickly nor the men of affairs who fill the Grand Hotels and the pockets of their proprietors. It is those who travel 'for pleasure' as the phrase goes. What Epicurus who never travelled except when he was banished sought in his own garden our tourists seek abroad. And do they find their happiness Those who freqeuent the places where they resort must often find this question with a tentative answer in the negative fairly forced upon them. For tourists are in the main a very gloomy-looking tribe. I have seen much brighter faces at a funeral than in the Piazza of St. Mark's. Only when they can band together and pretend for a brief precarious hour that they are at home do the majority of tourists look really happy. One wonders why they come abroad. The face is that very few travellers really like travelling. If they go to the trouble and expense of travelling it is not so much from curiosity for fun or because they like to see things beautiful and strange as out of a kind of snobbery. People travel for the same reason as they collect works of art: because the best people do it. To have been to certain spots on the earth's surface is socially correct; and having been there one is superior to those who have not." -- from the quite witty and splendid opening.
