The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley

This Kate Holland binding is made out of grey dyed calfskin with neon orange leather sunken onlays and gold tooling. The endpapers show an altered close-up image of the red-hot poker plant, with neon highlights. It is a rebinding of a first edition of Huxley's seminal account of taking the psychoactive drug mescalin, where he recounts his impressions of a red-hot poker plant in his garden while under the influence in a monochrome post-war world.
