[Ads-l] Request access to 1934 Easton Press edition of Erewhon with introduction by Aldous Huxley

[dave@wilton.net]

Garson,
 
I can make a trip over to the rare book room of Princeton's Firestone library and take some photos. I need to go on campus in the next few days, so it's no great trouble. But if someone else has easier access, that is probably better.
 
BTW, it's the edition illustrated by Rockwell Kent, so that might be a help in identifying who has access to it.

The Quote Investigator website contains a new article about a
quotation attributed to Aldous Huxley. Apparently, the quotation
appeared in a special introduction by Huxley to the 1934 Easton Press
collector's edition of Samuel Butler’s nineteenth century novel
"Erewhon".

Any suggestion of how I might be able to obtain scans of this 1934
edition? I was able to find a reprint of the quotation in a syndicated
1938 newspaper column, but I have not seen scans of the 1934 edition,
yet.

Some reference works claim that the quotation appeared in Aldous
Huxley's 1921 novel "Crome Yellow", but it is not there.
