Item description from seller

353, [3, blank] pp. 9.25" x 6.25" "THINK FOR YOURSELF AND QUESTION AUTHORITY" Timothy Leary could have ended up an buttoned-up Harvard psychology professor. But Leary sought out psilocybin mushrooms in Mexico and his consciousness opened; "Your nerve endings, neural cameras, cellular memory banks, protein structures become broadcasting instruments for the timeless humming message of God located inside your body. The external world doesn't change, but your experience of it becomes drastically altered." High Priest is Leary's account of 1959 to 1962, as he tripped with literary figures like Aldous Huxley as guides and experimented on students and prisoners, brooding over the close-mindedness of Harvard sticklers and elated with hope for the application of psychedelics. Unevenly foxed edge, gentle presses to top corners, moderately sunned endpaper edges, still near fine, in near fine, price-clipped dust jacket, with small closed tear to bottom rear panel, several light scratches to front panel, gentle shelf wear, in mylar cover. Quarter black cloth over striped boards, in Paul Bacon dust jacket.
