Bookplate inserted; bookseller stamp for F. W. Preece, Adelaide inside cover; card stapled to front endpaper inscribed in blue ink: “With compliments from Norma C. Rungie, Adelaide”. P. 263 earmarked and highlighted in pencil [quoting Mahatma Gandhi]: “You glory in speed, thinking not of the goal. You elevate process, rather than ultimate product. You think your souls are saved because you can invent radio. Of what elevation to man is a method of broadcasting when you have only drivel to send out? What mark of civilisation is it to be able to produce a one hundred and twenty page newspaper in one night, when most of it is either banal or actually vicious and not two columns worth preserving? What contribution to man has aeronautics made which can overbalance its use in his self-destruction? You are children playing with razors.”
