Opiate Addiction

Lindesmith, Alfred R.

Published by Principia Press, Indiana

About this Item

Gray hardcover with blue cover and spine titles. No date, approximately 1955-60 - the first printing having been published in 1947. A good copy, lacking dustjacket, but with a musty odor, and some soiling/darkening to the covers and spine panel. The interior is clean, with a previous owner's address label to the top of the front endpaper, and a dime sized stain to the lower portion of the same page, otherwise unmarked. Binding and hinges are solid. An interesting title exploring the nature and effects of opiate addiction, as well as the impacts of World War II and Federal Narcotic Legislation on the social problem. 238 pp., indexed, glossary, bibliography. This book became the basis for Lindesmith's later publication "Addiction and Opiates.".
