HUXLEY, ALDOUS.
The Devils of Loudun.
London, December, 1952. 8vo. Bright orange cloth binding. The binding is tight, sturdy, and square, with light wear to the edges of the orange cloth boards, but they remain intact. The black title box on the spine is clean, and the gilt remains bright and bold. The text is also in very good condition. The dust jacket shows some marginal chipping and creasing at the top and bottom of the spine and corners, as well as some discoloration on the back, but it is not price-clipped and remains colorful. Includes two unnumbered leaves of plates featuring portraits of Soeur Jeanne des Anges and Jean-Joseph Surin. This is the second impression.
