Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Printed in the U.S.A. Date on the title page. First Printing. Frontispiece (with tissue) plus five black-and-white Illustrations, Prefatory, Footnotes; 402 pages, followed by a four-page complete list of the author's works. The original black cloth shows some rubbing to the extremities, with a bit of loss to the spine ends; gilt lettering is still clearly legible on the spine. The interior is supple and completely clean---except for a name, James L Draper, stamped neatly in purple on the front endpaper. There is normal toning to the text-block edges and a blush of mild discoloration to the endpapers. Binding is strong. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] "[Davis] has not written anything more timely and important for many years. § His chapters are pathetic and authentic records of events and scenes in his private and public career, beginning where the 'Magic Staff' ends, and bringing his psychological and private experiences truthfully up to the present day." (From the publishers' list, last page.) 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.

Shop-Beschreibung

The books listed here are, indeed, from my father's library, representing the depth and varied interests of a modern scholar's mind. Dr. Henry LeRoy Finch, professor emeritus of philosophy and a published author, trained in the classics (graduating top in his class at Yale), and went on to develop an appreciation for modern thinkers. It took over half-a-century to amass this collection of primarily-scholarly books with a broad range of subjects from Philosophy and Religion (with an emphasis on the interrelationships and intricacies of Eastern and Western Thinking) to scientific influences played out over the entire history of humankind, touching necessarily on Art, Anthropology, Archaeology, Literature, History of various Cultures, Psychology, Physics, and Spiritual Thought, including Theosophy and Mysticism. Many are esoteric philosophical works, out-of-print and unavailable elsewhere. A great number cover the interconnections of so many subjects as to defy classification. His was a working library: each volume was read and familiar, its whereabouts on a shelf always known, even when "double-parked." Though many of the books are esoteric, others will appeal to the general reader, often making an abstruse subject more approachable. (There are a hundred books on Einstein alone!) In addition, there are numerous paperbacks--classics, scholarly, first-published editions, several versions of the same book (in different translations), handy for packing along in a back pocket. Each of the volumes from the collection has a bookplate tipped in at the front and may have pencil marginalia--sparse or profuse. I have tried to reflect this in all the listings, but feel free to call and discuss further details of a book's condition. As it will take a long time to write up all the descriptions, some of you may wish to call and ask about a particular book you have been seeking. Meanwhile, I'll try to keep an eye on the "Wants" list. Thank you for visiting this page. I hope my father's books will eventually find happy homes; it was one of his last wishes.
