By Hayakawa, S.I., in consultation with Basil H. Pillard
New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company. Very Good+ in Very Good- dj. [1954] (c.1949). Later Printing. Hardcover. [a nice clean book with mild wear to the extremities; the jacket has a few tiny nicks and tears (with very minor paper loss) along the top edge, some fading to the spine, and a small chip at the lower right corner of the rear panel (no loss of rear panel text)]. An "outgrowth" of the author's 1941 book "Language in Action," which "extends the scope of the previous work to include much new information as well as a thorough revaluation of the material that appeared before." A landmark work in the study of general semantics. (This printing dates from 1954, per the code "h.2.54" on the copyright page.) .
