Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: near fine. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover. A true first edition, first printing of this foundational work in modern shamanic studies, inscribed by the author on the title page: "For Dick Duncan-with best wishes in your shamanic adventures / Michael Harner". The copyright page confirms it is a first edition, first printing with a complete number line ending in "1". 8 1/2" x 5 3/4". 167pp. Mustard paper-covered boards backed in black quarter cloth with gilt spine titles. In the original illustrated dust jacket priced $9.95, with jacket code "0980" indicating a September 1980 release.In this landmark text, anthropologist Michael Harner introduced "core shamanism"-a distillation of cross-cultural techniques of spiritual healing and altered states, drawn from years of fieldwork among Indigenous peoples of the Amazon and North America. The Way of the Shaman went on to become one of the most influential books in the study and practice of neo-shamanism, embraced by anthropologists, spiritual seekers, and psychologists alike. This inscribed copy may carry additional interest due to the unknown identity of the recipient, "Dick Duncan," whose connection to Harner-personal or professional-remains to be explored. Condition: Very Good in a Near Fine dust jacket. Lightly rubbed board edges. Dust jacket bright and unclipped with minor rubbing to edges.
