Item description from seller

First impression of the first UK edition. ***Very good in black cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine. Black front and rear free endpapers and pastedowns. Black stained top edge of text-block (as called for). Very tiny remnant of paper to bottom corner of rear board. Extremities of boards very slightly rubbed. Fore-edge of text-block very slightly foxed. Interior pages clean. Spine and front and rear boards bright. Spine tight. ***In a near fine monochrome illustrated and sepia price-clipped dustwrapper with publisher's re-priced label for £12.50 above. Extremities of dustwrapper very slightly creased and rubbed. Head and tail of spine of dustwrapper slightly creased and rubbed. Very small closed tear to top corner of front panel of dustwrapper. Rear panel of dustwrapper very slightly discoloured (being white background). No fading. Spine and front and rear panel of dustwrapper bright. 240mm x 182mm. 498 pages including index to the rear. ***'It is possible to argue that the whole of modern psychology springs from thoughts about death; yet there are few books which dare to handle this subject directly, though after all it will one day concern each one of us personally. The Psychology of Death is a pioneer survey of all aspects of the subject by two of the few authors in the world who are academically qualified to treat it - though, as they observe, not all the academic degrees in the world enable one to contemplate death with equanimity. ***The topics discussed include : the definition of death, clinically and biologically; neurotic anxieties about death; consolation and grief; old age and 'natural' death; who should be kept alive and how long; what can be done to forestall premature death; the counterfeiting of death; the fatal attractions of murder and suicide; the incidence of accidents; the mutual implications of birth and death; and the cultural milieu of death today and in the past. The authors emphasize that the time and mode of death are factors of the individual's life style within his particular social context.' (Quote from inside of front of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the first UK edition in its original dustwrapper in very nice condition. Uncommon. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
