Life and Holiness. by Merton, Thomas - 1963

New York.: Herder & Herder. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1963. First Edition. Hard Cover. 8vo - 20 x 12 cm.; xii - (2) - 162 pp. White linen over boards with dark blue lettering on the spine and a dark blue TM monogram stamped on the front board. The text is printed on a light cream-coloured laid paper. First edition as per the copyright page. Published later in Merton's life, this book is suffused with the results of a life of living in the presence of God. Marked by a deep wisdom and simple purity best summed up by the Fiat of Mary, Merton reminds us all of the grace we live in and the glory we shall dwell in. The library markings, though not actually a library, are neatly done ownership stamps on the front free end paper, the title page (Our Lady of Loretto Chapel, R.C.A.F. Station Gimli, Man.) and on the tail margins of two pages, and an RCAF stock number label on the head of the dust jacket spine. Minor wear to the jacket edges and the head edges of cloth boards are a tad browned. Otherwise very clean with a tight binding. The dust jacket is not clipped with the price of $3.50 on the front flap. .
