About This Item
Berkeley: Tree Books, 1974. 1st edition. Soft cover. Fine/Fine. Fine in Fine dw. 8vo, ~64pp, card wrappers with dustwrapper. This is the first of three states seen: Here the title is "Blessing Over Ashes" is shown on dustwrapper and title page; an amended jacket changing title to "A Blessing Over Ashes" (with the same interior) was issued subsequently, and a reprint edition in smaller format was issued in 1975, with the title corrected on cover and interior. This first version is rare (I have never seen another copy with this uncorrected jacket). Contains short prose works on Kabbalistic and mystical themes. Nice copy, just about as new.
