Berkeley, CA North Atlantic , 1998. Paperback First Edition Thus; First Printing indicated. First Edition Thus; First Printing indicated. Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use, but there is the fainest waviness to the covers and text pages;. Else, just a just a hint of wear to extremities; mildest rubbing. The Binding leans ever so slightly, but remains perfectly secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Large, Oblong 8vo. 62pp. Profusely illustrated with Photographs in Color of "Tibetan Book of the Dead" Performance at La MaMa E.T.C. by Gerry Vezzuso. Other Illustrations Selected by Deborah E Klimburg-Salter. Introduction by Judith L. Lief. Trade Paperback. Jean-Claude van Itallie has done us all a wonderful service by adapting his rich and meaningful play into a lovely book that is a feast for the eyes, ears, and mind. This book makes a perfect, accessible introduction to one of the core teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. Without being morbid, the text takes us on the journey of a soul facing death, and gives ageless advice on how to approach not only death, but also the little deaths we face in everyday life. The combination of poetic yet pragmatic text, with evocative photos and images, is achieved simply and elegantly. I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially to those learning about Buddhism or interested in Tibet, or to those who know of one who is facing death or loss. This book would be a treasured and memorable gift. Bravo to van Itallie for bringing these ageless teachings into the modern world with such elegance and spirit!, North Atlantic , 1998., 0<
