A third printing of the first edition, published as a paperback original (PBO) in the Penguin Education / Penguin Modern Sociology Readings series in 1975. The book was first printed in 1970, and reprinted in 1972 before this printing. ***Very good in illustrated card covers. The covers are largely uncreased, but there are some marks on the back cover (which has a white background). Some light rubbing at the edges. The original printed price on the back cover has been inked out. No serious creases or tears. Some light foxing marks to the top edge of the page block. No reading lean to the binding. Spine flat (not rolled from reading) with just very light vertical reading creases. Spine unfaded. Internally also very good with no previous ownership inscriptions, but with a Book Exchange (Clacton Covered Market) ink stamp to the first printed page (please see scans). Interior pages clean with no foxing. No creases or tears. paper stock lightly tanned. ***180mm x 110mm. 416 pages including a section of Acknowledgements, Author Index and a Conceptual Index at the back of the book. ***'There are still many societies in existence for whom witchcraft, sorcery and other magical systems are tangible and threatening realities. Nor is our own emancipation from a belief in magic very far advanced, as is demonstrated by our continuing observance of superstitions. Professor Marwick's collection of Readings paints a fascinating picture of the current worldwide status of witchcraft'. (Quote taken from the back cover) ***A very interesting book - surprisingly uncommon now in any printing. Of particular interest to those studying the social history of Witchcraft and Sorcery. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only, and we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate (e.g. for paperbacks and pamphlets). For heavier books and sets, please contact us for postal rates before ordering, especially if purchasing from outside the UK.…
