Description:
Canaan VT [printed] / Post Falls ID [cancel]: Mora Press, 1983. Hardcover. 204p., legible presswork, if not quite professional layout, hardbound in 8.5x5.5 inch light brown cloth boards titled black, inscribed and signed by Overlee on the front pastedown. Opposite the inscription find a bleached-out label, and (fore and aft in the text) a small neat rubberstamp address that cancels the Vermont one. Item is all-in-all quite good: sound, clean, and otherwise unmarked. Henry Drummond contributes much text from the afterlife. Overlee pays particular attention to Martin Luther King Jr. with a post-assassination resume (limited to a single page, no quotations), and has been in contact with a number of other personalities we have heard of such as Rudolph Valentino, certain members of European royalty, plus sketch-portraits of Asian and Mid-Eastern adepts we know nothing of.
