Oriental Magic foreword by Dr. Louis Marin

New York: Philosophical Library, 1957. Hardcover. Mis-bound, publisher's mistake, see below. Correct text runs xviii, 206p., illustrated throughout with black and white photos and diagrams, frontispiece photo of house-decoration in Northern Sudan. The boards slightly shelfworn, previous owner's interesting bookplate on paste-down endpaper, generally good condition, BUT -- somebody in the Philosophical Library bindery-room got casings mixed up, so book's spine-title reads "De La Ferte, ROCKET". A very uncommon situation that is, unfortunately, not collectable. (Inventory #: 227565)
