About this Item

A rare first edition, first printing of 'Gurdjieff: Making a New World' by John G. Bennett - the influential British philosopher and student of G.?I. Gurdjieff. This edition explores Gurdjieff's life, mission, and contributions to modern spiritual thought and is a cornerstone work in 20th?century studies of esoteric philosophy and the Fourth Way.

This copy is signed and inscribed by the author on the title page, adding significant collectible value for scholars, collectors of Gurdjieffiana, and enthusiasts of Bennett's writings.

Condition:
- Dust Jacket: Present, intact, with shelf wear typical for age; no major tears. See image.
- Pages: Clean, bright, free of foxing or spotting.
- Signature: Clear author signature with personal dedication - an appealing provenance feature.
- Overall: Very Good, particularly desirable given the signed dedication.

Collector Notes: This 1973 Turnstone first edition is sought by collectors of spiritual philosophy and Gurdjieff studies. The author's signature significantly enhances its rarity in the secondary market - signed copies of Bennett's works seldom appear. Including this edition in a collection offers depth to any exploration of Gurdjieff?s influence on mid?20th?century thought.

Store Description

Disappearing Codex offers a selection of thought-provoking works. Books in this collection have been the power to challenge, illuminate, and inspire. This collection is part of a personal library I am gradually dispersing as I prepare to emigrate in one year. Each copy carries a piece of literary and intellectual history. Browse with confidence, and join me in keeping these provocative works alive and in circulation. Once they're gone, they're gone - much like the name of this store suggests.
