Re-bound in quarter calf with marbled boards preserving the original calf spine. Title page shows age-toning, soiling and staining; a small darker spot of staining is present near the upper corner.

Description:
A wonderful copy. A substantial work by famous author on such themes, Manly P Hall. The book explores themes underlying ancient mythology, philosophy, and religion. A huge range of topics. There is confusion on book site about the editions around this time, and the (often stock) photos that accompany them. This is the Golden Anniversary Reduced Facsimile of 1977, with all black & white plates. A bit of the confusion comes as the text promises colour plates, but this is not the case in this edition. Please see all photos here which are of this actual edition on sale. The pages are excellent: bright and clean and uncreased. Three minor points to mention: there is an old small bookshop label on the FEP (see photos) this is almost off and will probably come away if desired. There is a small stamp of a date on the first (blank) page, again see photos. Finally, a neat small ex-libris stamp on the title page (see photos). However otherwise the pages are in the best condition we've seen in this title: the…

binding is very clean- just a touch of edgewear/shelfwear. They used a two tone quarter green cloth over gray cloth and the green portion still is glossy. Internals very clean ( not even any pricing marks in pencil) though there is a paper clip indentation at the lower edge affecting the title, onwards for 20 pages. Unclipped wrapper has only some rubbing but I detect no tears, creases or chips. The paper is wonderful; it strikes me as feeling and looking like "linen" (not your business/office grade) but I am by no means an expert on paper. This US Stackpole Edition omits 8 plates which are in the UK Allen & Unwin volume. Well-preserved, excellent copy.Inv. # 63672 NOAB* bds 9/2023
