Publisher's periwinkle cloth with spine lettered in gilt; in its original multi-colored pictorial dust jacket designed by John Woodcock with an illustration of three eyes with geometric irises to the front panel lettered in white. Very good book with heavy staining to cloth primarily rear board toning to spine ends and upper edges of boards and offsetting to endpapers; very good unclipped dust jacket with heavy toning to spine shallow chipping to spine ends a couple of chips to panel edges and some spotting to panels. Overall a tight attractive copy. The Doors of Perception is Huxley's reflection on a mescaline-induced psychedelic experience he had in May of 1953. After offering himself up as a test subject Huxley was administered a supervised dose and as he explains via William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell "the doors of perception were cleansed." In his introduction Huxley explains: "The other world which mescaline admitted me was not the world of visions; it existed out there in what I could see with my eyes open. The great change was in the realm of objective fact . I was seeing what Adam had seen on the morning of his creation - the miracle moment by moment of naked existence." While criticized for its promotion of psychedelic drug use The Doors of Perception was also a foundational text for the 1960s counterculture inspiring both Timothy Leary's psychedelic research and Jim Morrison's band The Doors. In 1958 Huxley published a sequel - the essay "Heaven and Hell" which refers to the two possible experiences one will have after breaking through the "doors of perception." . First Edition.
