About This Item
New York: MacFadden-Bartell, 1966. Pictorial wrappers. Very Good. The increasingly uncommon 1966 1st paperback edition, issued by the obscure New York publisher MacFadden-Bartell. Crisp and VG in its wonderful pictorial wrappers, with very mild creasing at the front panel's lower-tip and light soiling to the rear panel. Pocket-sized, MB 60-240. (From the front cover: "He Offered to Sell Them the Secret of Eternal Life. All He Asked in Return Was Their Souls").
Synopsis
In this wildly disorienting funhouse of a novel, populated by God-like--or perhaps Satanic--takeover artists and corporate psychics, Philip K. Dick explores mysteries that were once the property of St. Paul and Aquinas. His wit, compassion, and knife-edged irony make The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch moving as well as genuinely visionary.From the Trade Paperback edition.
