Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A good copy in its original cloth of the very rare first edition (1922) of Reverend Thomas's famous psychic study which aims to prove life after death by having 'spirit communicators' identify specific, unread passages in books and future newspaper headlines, suggesting information acquisition beyond normal means. Uncut pages are overwhelmingly excellent: clean and clear with no notes , no underlining and only the most faint sporadic natural ageing. FEPs have a degree of light brown tanning. Front pasteboard has a very small sticker of previous owner well known parapsychologist Alan Gauld. His small signature is also on front FEP (see photos for these). Binding is very good, maybe the slightest lean. All pages are complete and tightly bound. Boards are good: some pale mottling on front cover (see photos) and corner crumpling. But overall boards are very sound and firm. Spine is good with clear gilt lettering and a little crumpling to top and base. No lean or give, unusually for this edition. A good copy of a rare edition.
