Paris: A la Librairie Illustrée [c. 1887 - 1907 ], 1887. Wraps. See Description. 8vo. pp. [4], 308. Bound in original color illustrated publishers wraps depicting a man hypnotizing a woman.

Interior pages contain periodic spots of marginal foxing. A few minor marginal tears are neatly sealed. The upper edge of page 69 is chipped (1 x 0.5 cm). According to Crabtree this work is "a critical evaluation of the nature of hypnotism and somnambulism. The author sees imagination as the central element," (Crabtree, p. 276). Chapter XI discusses modern witchcraft "diatribe contre le livre préceédent, de Charles Richet," (Yve-Plessis). This is possibly the second…

Hardcover bound in light tan quarter cloth with brown paper-covered boards and housed in a red dust jacket which may or may not be original to the book. (The jacket does not have the book's title but states "...with best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" from Nicholson's Book Shop in Richmond, Indiana). The jacket is heavily damped and worn. This has minimal effect on the binding, but there is a bit of damping on the lower corner of the first few pages, and there is heavy red damping in the rear flyleaf. The book is sound and is clean within. Scarce.

Raul Amon, Teacher of the Fire, replied that we are living at a time when there is a great need for knowledge like that contained in the Teachings of the Fire, which can help reduce the amount of aggression in our surroundings".

WINNER OF THE PEGASUS PRIZE FOR LITERATURE AND THE BOOKER PRIZE. Used. Very Good/Very Good unclipped original $17.95 dust jacket. Summary: "The Bone People, first published in 1984 by Spiral, New Zealand. About this book: The Bone People is an unusual story of love. It is unusual in the telling, the subject matter, and the form of love that the story depicts. This is in no way a romance; it is filled with violence, fear, and twisted emotions. At the story's core, however, are three people who struggle very hard to figure out what love is and how to find it. Hulme won New Zealand's Pegasus Prize for Literature (1984) for The Bone People. Then the book went on to win the prestigious Booker Prize (1985).
