- Waldstein: 1923. 2nd novel. DB: "Huxley told his father that Antic Hay was 'written by a member of what I may call the war-generation for others of his kind'. He went on to say that it was intended to reflect 'the life and opinions of an age which has seen the violent disruption of almost all the standards, conventions and values current in the previous epoch.'"

- Waldstein: 1927. 2nd collection of essays. Introduction + 11 pieces. DB: "Huxley's more sombre mood in the late 1920s was epitomised by Proper Studies, the most important of the four volumes of essays he published during the decade, and the one in which he first set himself unequivocally against what he regarded as the vulgarity and perversity of mass civilisation."

- Waldstein: 1928. 4th novel. DB: "Huxley's 'first true novel of ideas', the type of fiction with which he has become most closely identified. He once explained that his aim as a novelist was 'to arrive, technically, at a perfect fusion of the novel and the essay', arguing that the novel should be like a holdall, bursting with opinion and arresting ideas."

- Waldstein: 1945. Edited by AH. DB: "a profoundly influential anthology of excerpts and commentaries illustrating what Huxley called 'the highest common factor of all the higher religions'. He went on to say with typical humour and humility, 'The greatest merit of the book is that about forty percept of it is not by me, but by a lot of saints, many of whom were also men of genius.'"

- Waldstein: 2000-2002, 6 vols. The most comprehensive edition of AH's essays, including the contents of all collections and all travel books mentioned above (#8, 11, 14, 16, 18, 23, 26, 28, 31, 37, 40), a few pamphlets (#21, 35, 44, 47), one full-length book (#29) and a number of previously uncollected pieces. Indispensable, never mind the scant and superficial editorial work. The volumes are handsomely produced hardcovers.
