First edition, published as the effects of the Great Depression were substantially kicking in. The exquisite dust jacket illustration by Walter Murch suggests the influence of Futurism, with a hand on an axle juxtaposed with the meshing of gears. A fine example of the era's evolution in dust jacket design. The scarce dust jacket is now preserved in a removable, clear archival sleeve.
