About This Item
New York: University Books, Inc, 1959. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Review copy, with the publisher's slip laid in. Best known as the man who brought Zen classics to the West, Suzuki (1870-1966) sheds light on all phases of a monk's experience, from being initially refused admittance at the Zendo's door to the definitive understanding the meaning of one's koan as the final act of ordinance into Zen priesthood. Octavo. Original cloth binding, with burgundy and gilt titles. Tiny spot to the spine head. The dust jacket is moderately sun faded along the spine, with some very mild wear; otherwise very good.
