THE CRYSTAL BUTTON or, Adventures of Paul Prognosis in the Forty-Ninth Century.

Publisher's original blue cloth with white titles and illustrations to the spine and upper board. A very good copy, the binding square with a little wear to the extremities. The contents, with a previous owner's bookplate to the front pastedown and a few light marks to the text block edge, are otherwise clean throughout.

A utopian novel in which the protagonist psychically travels to the forty-ninth century in which there is no war, the population is provided for by the state, and benevolent Martians share their knowledge with humanity. (Bleiler). Provenance: from the library of Martin Stone.
