Description:
New York: The Orion Press,, 1963. First U.S. Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Large 8vo 9" - 10. Sturdy, attractive, tightly bound hardcover, clean, bright interior, lightly worn and soiled grey cloth covers, still sharp white and gold lettering to front cover and spine, minimal rubbing to extremities, and some foxing to page edges. First English Edition, having been translated from the 1961 original French edition by Haakon Chevalier. Michaux's important treatise investigates his "explorations among drugs."

The present tome blends prose and poetry analysis of his experience with psilocybin, mescaline, and marijuana. He opines, too, as did Aldous Huxley, on mental illness and possible curative… Read More
