About This Item
First edition hardcover with dust jacket, published by Bantam, 1991. The dust jacket is intact and is not price clipped. Blue boards over black cloth covered spine, with the author and title imprinted on the spine. The boards are flat and the corners are not bumped or creased. 223 pages, with Index, Notes, and illustrated throughout with B&W photos, line drawings and maps. Neurobiologist, William Calvin takes us on a journey to find the origins of ancient religious practices, especially focused on those that centered on knowledge of Astronomy, such as the Anasazi, and Druids. There are few dots of very very light foxing to the top edge of the text block, not very noticeable as they are barely darker than the paper itself. There is a pen smudge on the top edge as well, looks like someone dropped a pen and it make a squiggle there. The dust jacket has been protected with a clear, removable cover, there is a short closed tear at the bottom right fore edge, about an inch long. No writing besides that pen mark, no former ownership marks, not a remainder, not a library discard. Attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory.
