189 pp. Tightly bound. Corners not bumped. Text is free of markings. No ownership markings. Very good dust jacket. PLEASE NOTE: (1) Light foxing to the page edges. (2) A hint of mustiness from being stored in a box in a basement. These are the two reasons for the lower "good" rating. This copy is smyth sewn. Smyth sewing is a method of bookbinding where groups of folded pages (referred to as signatures) are stitched together using binder thread. Each folded signature is sewn together individually with multiple stitches and then joined with other signatures to create the complete book block. This is the traditional and best method of bookbinding.

About this title

Synopsis

Spiritual Discourse is a study of the process by which Baba Rexheb, a ninety-year-old Albanian leader of the Bektashi order, and Frances Trix, an American student who has studied with him for over twenty years, come to share a common universe of experience and attunement. Overall what is being passed on is not facts but a relationship, for the relationship of "seeker" and "master" mirrors that of the human and God.
