About This Item
8vo, black quarter cloth over grey pictorial stamped papered boards, 255pp. First edition. Unclipped dust jacket (5.95). Inscribed by the author to the half title page. Dust jacket shows some fading to edges, minor loss at foot of spine and rubbing to rear panel. Discreet ownership signature to front endpaper. Firmly bound with clean text. The cult classic of the LSD experience synthesized with the 'the death of God' theology and analysis of other 1960's spiritualisms. A handsome copy in mylar.
