What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce, With Dustwrapper

First edition. With the vanishingly scarce original price-clipped dust wrapper. A best-selling guidebook of the various mental tricks by which the human soul can encourage happiness, with chapters on the self and the past, the self isolated, the self realised, and the self at bay. Written by John Cowper Powys, an English novelist, philosopher, lecturer, critic and poet.

Condition

In the original red cloth binding. Externally, smart with ight rubbing to the extremities. Original price-clipped dust wrapper is sound with light wear and chipping to the extremities resulting in light loss to the head and tail of the spine. Sunning to the spine with the odd small mark to the panels. The odd closed tear to the panel edges. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with light scattered spotting.

Very Good
