Description

"Madame Blavatsky's Baboon," by Peter Washington - SC 3rd ed. (1995) VG+ Subtitle: "A History of the Mystics, Mediums, and Misfits Who Brought Spiritualism to America" Book is in very good *plus* condition. The only signs of its having been pre-owned is a previous seller's pencilled notation on an inside page, and some slight shelf wear at the corners of the spine and the cover's edges. Otherwise, binding is tight and all pages are clean, unmarked, untanned and ready for the serious researcher of this topic. For its age, this book is almost bookstore-quality. Please see the accompanying photos to assess the condition of this well-preserved and useful book. The book comprises a history of spiritualism in America and discusses the development of Theosophy; the religious beliefs of Madame Blavatsky, Steiner, Krishnamurti, and other gurus; also discussed is the evolution of their ideas into the world of New Age thinking. As I continue to downsize my collection of books, I’m focusing on unusual phenomena, occultism, magic and related subjects. I’ve offered several difficult-to-find items on eBay in the hope of reaching a broader group of collectors. It’s possible that some may be of interest to you. Please glance over these current items is the "More from this Seller" section. Thank you!
