Add to basketCondition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 8vo. A First Printing of the book that launched the Scientology movement which today has thousands of religiously fervent followers. . "Dianetics theory posits that "the basic principle of existence is to survive" and that the basic personality of humans is si…ncere, intelligent, and good. The drive for goodness and survival is distorted and inhibited by aberrations (deviations from rational thinking).? Hubbard claimed that Dianetics could increase intelligence, eliminate unwanted emotions and alleviate a wide range of illnesses he believed to be psychosomatic. Conditions purportedly treatable with Dianetics included arthritis, allergies, asthma, some coronary difficulties, eye trouble, ulcers, migraine headaches, and sexual deviation." 452pp. Publisher's cloth over boards. Titling stamped in gilt to spine. Square tight binding. Clean interior, save for small previous owner stamp to top fore edge corner of title page. Top edge dyed yellow. Binding with the mildest of edge wear. Dust jacket lightly soiled with mild rubbing and edge wear. Presents handsomely in archival mylar. Overall an excellent example of the uncommon 1st Printing of one of the 20-century's major philosophical treatises, bordering on religion.

Add to basketFirst Edition. First Edition. Thick 8vo, 8 1/2 x 6 inches. In scarce original publisher's pictorial dark green dust wrapper (with paper tape on inside). L. Ron Hubbard's "Dianetics," published inconsequently in 1950, rapidly becoming the founding text for Scientology, a set of beliefs and practices invented by Hubbard, who went…on to guide the movement's momentum. Variously defined as a cult, a business, a religion, or a scam, Dianetics is a set of ideas and practices regarding the human mind. Lengthy presentation inscription verso of front free fly in pen by a former owner. Copies are difficult to find in nice condition, especially with the scarce dust wrap; our copy is very good, with the wrapper quite presentable and intact from the outside, with paper tape strengthened on the inside, some, chips to front cover and margins of spine. Scarce thus.
