Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. First Edition. 222 Pages. Stated: First Printing. Inscribed, signed and dated 1966, on the top of the first page in from the front cover. The dust jacket is not price-clipped. This book recounts the history, tenents and practices of Hinduism, Buddhism and Zen and their influence on Western culture. The dust jacket is in poor to fair condition with many repaired small tears and worn areas on the top and bottom edges, four worn corners and the plastic coating that covered the dust jacket has come off parts of its front and its rear sides. The interior book, however, other than a slight yellowing of its pages and a small bumping on the rear cover's left edge, has (other than the author's inscription and signature) no visible extraneous markings, distractions or other detriments and hence all of the printing and photographs are all in a well-preserved condition and the sewn-in bindings remain tight and therefore would be sound. If you order this very interesting review of these three important religions from us, we will carefully wrap it up in either foam or bubble wrap, then pad and box it and ship it right away to you with both insurance and tracking on it.…
