About This Item
New York: Crossroad , ( 1989 ). First Edition Thus. Hardcover. As New/as new. 8vo, pages, cloth
Here are Merton's personal reflections. written from the distance of tme, and for a whole new readership, and furthe thoughts into the author's mind and heart as he reconsidered and felt again the great themes in his books. Principally, these remarks have been gathered from Merton's new prefaces to foreign language editions of his work. Most of this was previously published in 1981 as INTRODUCTIONS EAST & WEST; but this adds 3 newly discovered works, an updated bibliography, and, charmingly, a facsimile of the graph Merton made rating his various books.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
