Paper over hinges neatly mended, else about fine in very good or better dustwrapper with a thin chip and small scrape of the spine. Signed by the author. From the jacket copy: "This book records the story of the relief man found in religion from the sexual suppressions. It tells of primitive sacred love and its gross sexual orgiastic rites; of the sacred love of classical times, in the temples of Baal, Aphrodite, Moloch, and Dionysos; of the refinement of this sexual love in religion through the spiritual love of the early Christians and in the highly aesthetic symbolism in word and image, of modern religion, which is erotic nevertheless. It tells of the place of love and sex in the religions of today, and of its peculiar decadent form in the esoteric sects of all times.
