About this title

Synopsis

In this highly readable and vividly illustrated book, best-selling author David Fontana traces the origins of hundreds of symbols and symbol systems that have impacted human culture, art, history, literature, and even dreams. From chakras and the I Ching to the tarot and the zodiac, from mythical beasts to magical numbers, these are the symbols that shape consciousness. Visual artists, students, and soul searchers of every stripe will want to deepen their knowledge of these intriguing icons. Now in a compact and handy size, it s more practical than ever for both reference and inspiration.

Shipping Terms

This is what we said here in 2018, the last time it was edited: "Postage and packing is charged at our rate listed with ABE. However it is worth pointing out that UK postage just goes on going up and that sending a huge Fine Art book to Timbuctoo is simply not going to travel there for six or seven quid. We feel that clarifying this is in everyone's interests and mention it because mostly we're not paperback merchants and include a sizeable number of hefty books in our stock."
Since then things have taken an even steeper down-turn; overseas shipping has become so expensive it's virtually impossible to send cheaper books anywhere simply because of the sites' policies of charging their commissions based on the combined price of book plus shipping. This was done originally because nobody could think of a way to circumvent those book firms, and we all know who they are, who insist on selling their books for twopence + shipping, and there's not much commission on twopence. However now that postage has gone through the roof and out the other side we have ended up with stalemate. Example - �8 book Economy to USA at �16 or �17, commission at approx 20% on �25 is �5. Net price of book before packaging costs �3. We won't even begin to discuss airmail, or air tracked. Solutions on a postcard please.
