About This Item
(New York): (J. F. Tapley), 1923. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 12mo, 329pp., illustrated by Malcolm Thurnburn (though he is not credited by name in the book). A very good copy in the publisher's alligator-like binding. Some residue to spine, and the spine does seem strengthened/repaired; contents very crisp and tight. Some related ephemera laid-in; two of these pieces havve numerous partially legible annotations in an unknown hand (conclusively NOT Fersen's). A wonderful little book by this early 20th century mystic and spiritualist. The text is printed in brown and gold, and there are numerous full-page illustrations and inset decorative elements very much in the late Art Nouveau style. Scarce in commerce, and we will note that every other copy we've ever seen is in a brown alligator binding; not this black/grey and white patterned binding.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
