Softcover. Condition: Very Good-. Wraps are a bit browned. Scholar's name to ffep (de Montmollin). Institution stamp to ffep (Dept. Of Classics- University of Toronto). Light edgewear to wraps. Lower corner of first few pages creased. ; 738 pages; The Golden Bough describes our ancestors' primitive methods of worship, sex practices, strange rituals and festivals. Disproving the popular thought that primitive life was simple, this monumental survey shows that savage man was enmeshed in a tangle of magic, taboos, and superstitions. Revealed here is the evolution of man from savagery to civilization, from the modification of his weird and often bloodthirsty customs to the entry of lasting moral, ethical, and spiritual values.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Minus. 'A New Abridgment of the Classic Work'. First of this edition (NAP). This book was previously owned by the renowned sociologist, Daniel Bell. He signed his name on the front end paper. He made two parenthetical lines at the margin of one page in the Foreword and afterward put his pen away (at least I didn't find any other markings). The books in very nice condition. The covers don't have any conspicuous soiling. The gilt lettering on the spine is nicely bright. The cover edges and corners are in excellent shape. The spine ends have only minimal crinkling. The page edges look good. The book is large and thick, 730 pages in total. It is also very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I didn't find any instances of soiling. I didn't see any conspicuous creasing. There are no attachments of any kind. Writing and markings is limited to what I have just reported. The dust jacket looks pretty good. You can see in the first few photos. There is one small chip off the top edge of the rear cover, one small chip off the bottom edge of the rear cover. The flaps look very good, very clean, a very thin strip of tan toning of their top edges. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos of scanned. From the dust jacket: 'A pioneer study in magic and religion that links the primitive concepts and modes of thought to the many institutions and folk customs they underlie, The Golden Bough was a milestone in the interpretation of man's cultural past. No other work in the field of anthropology contributed so much to the mental and artistic climate of our times-- what Freud did for the individual, Frazer did for civilization as a whole. Tracing the evolution of human behavior from the savage to the civilized through his studies of magic, taboos, sexual practices, superstition, and wizardry, and locating from these the basis and roots of contemporary social, scientific, and religious ideas, Frazer built a magnificent behavioral bridge for the past to the present.'.
