Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. 1st Edition. First Printing. Printed in Great Britain. Title page printed in black and red. List of Illustrations, 16 black-and-white photographs; 255 pages. The maroon cloth is in excellent shape, with corners sharp and color bright; the spine label with black lettering is nearly as fresh as if just issued. The original pictorial dust jacket is unclipped (16s) and shows wear: it is rubbed with a number of tiny tears and chips; however, no text is affected. [Please see my four images of this book.] The interior remains bright, crisp and clean, despite a touch of toning to the text-block edges. This is an astonishing autobiography by a writer who realized his exceptional psychic gifts early in life and whose contacts with the Unseen became stronger with advancing years. "[H]e was impelled to extend his psychical investigations to Polynesia, where he went through the most strange experiences in his search for a deeper understanding of the nature and operation of magical forces, and of the way in which they could be used for the benefit of humanity. He finally became convinced that there are higher aspects of Spiritualism which still remained largely uninvestigated, and which offer untold possibilities for the healing of our corrupted civilization." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.…
