Details: (c) Olaf Stapledon 1930; the rest of the details I don't have, since I have given M's copy back to him. Random edition here.
Verdict: Some interesting ideas, and a strong style, but flawed.
Reasons for reading it: M recommended it to me.
How it came into my hands: M
( detailed review )
On the whole, I'd say that Last and First Men is worth reading despite its problems.
