Advance Review Copy. Near Fine in plain yellow cardstock wraps, trade-sized (pb). 276pps. There is a bit of faint exterior spotting and a crease at the lower tip of the rear wrap. Otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. The text is immaculate; no reading wear and no previous ownership markings. With an Introduction by Jay Kinney and an Afterword by Terrence McKenna. A very nice, collector's-quality copy of the rare advance issue. "Rumors have circulated for years about the strange contents of a huge unpublished work by Philip K. Dick. 'In Pursuit of Valis' is the first publication of portions of the legendary 'Exegesis'. Dick's 'Exegesis' was the greatest undertaking of his life: some eight thousand pages written (mostly in longhand) during the last years of his life, when he was wrestling with a series of spiritual visions. These same 'mystical experiences' became the heart of Dick's novels 'Valis' and 'Radio Free Albemuth'. 'In Pursuit of Valis' contains autobiographical material, metaphysical diagrams, philosophical speculation, Dick's analysis of his own fiction and a self-contained short story. Here at last is Philip K. Dick's bizarre and fascinating New Age magnum opus." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded. Thanks for your interest in Nooks Of Books. To assist with your decision, photos can be emailed upon request. X04-A.
