First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair dj. First Edition. [moderately worn, light fraying to cloth at base of spine and bottom corners, a little fading around top front hinge, ffep corner-clipped, bottom corners of a few pages near the end of the book are bent/creased; jacket edgeworn and rubbed/scuffed, spine sunned, several tears and associated creasing along top edge, large chip at top left-hand corner of front panel (just missing the title)]. Scarce vanity-press novel by a WWII veteran, written in "Ozark Mountain speech, a dialect rich in old English words and colorful, striking phrases." It tells the story of "young Tad, whose brother Rafe has fallen in an early battle of World War II, in France, [and who] sets forth to bring the dead soldier's body back to the hills. Tad joins the Army as the easiest way to accomplish his purpose. Thereafter his battle experiences, his relations with his comrades at arms, his escapades when not 'sodjerin',' and his contacts with the natives of North Africa and Italy [where the author himself served, surprise!] are recorded as he evaluates them with the earthy wisdom peculiar to his Ozark heritage." [In other words, the author fancied himself a Ring Lardner of the Ozarks. Curiously, though, the jacket blurb doesn't actually say where he hails from, and in an acknowledgement he credits Vance Randolph's book 'Down in the Holler' as a source for the Ozark dialect. So I guess he maybe wasn't a mountain boy hisself.] NOISBN.

Staplebound. Condition: Fair. Staplebound. 11" X 8 1/2". Unpaginated. Rather heavy wear to covers, corners, and edges of paper wraps with toning, creasing, soiling, chipping, and bumps. Tape at spine is coming loose at front cover. Front cover is torn at top staple. Dust-spotting to edges of text block. Toning to endpapers and soiling to rear endpapers and to latter half of text block. Pages are free of marks and notation. With exception of front cover, binding is sound. An admittedly worn but overall solid copy of this collection of 22 symbolic poems depicting images of the Tarot presented as an "epic nursery rhyme." Hermetic science, rooted in the teachings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, embodies a philosophical and spiritual tradition that emerged in late antiquity. Central to Hermeticism are principles such as "As above, so below," reflecting a belief in interconnectedness between the universe and the individual. The Corpus Hermeticum contains core texts associated with Hermes Trismegistus, outlining esoteric wisdom encompassing alchemy, astrology, numerology, and mystical practices. Alchemy, a key aspect, symbolically signifies inner spiritual transformation and enlightenment. With influences on Western esotericism, including the Renaissance Hermetic revival and the development of Christian Kabbalah, Hermetic science remains a multifaceted approach to understanding the cosmos and attaining spiritual wisdom.
