Folio. Bound in publisher's white wraps printed in black, published dos-a-dos. Near Fine with light toning and soiling to wraps, crease to top corner of Dream Machines affecting cover and early leaves. Manuscript correction by Nelson in purple ink at first leaf of Dream Machines.

A fantastic copy of this foundational personal computing countercultural manifesto, marking the first major publication to argue that everyday people should have direct and free access to personal computers.
