Beschreibung

Scarce First Printing of the classic responsible for introducing many people in the Sixties to Zen Buddhism. Loosely laid in is a small original Polaroid photograph of the compiler Paul Reps (see photos). This book was a major influence on the Beats. Four books in one: 101 Zen Stories; The Gateless Gate; 16 Bulls; and Centering. Brown and black decorated paper-covered boards with gilt embossed stamping to front cover. Housed in the original publisher's slipcase. Illustrated with woodblock prints. Handmade paper endsheets. Very good with some modest rubbing to edges and corners, some spotting or browning. Firmly bound, no markings. The potentially fragile slipcase is tight and sound, no cracks or splits. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 46640
