Item description from seller

419pp. Octavo [22cm]; black cloth and yellow paper covered boards. Title gilt stamped on spine. Illustrated dust jacket. "First Edition" clearly stated on the copyright page. Dust jacket with "$15.95" price intact at top-front flap. Light dust soiling and tiny spots of staining at the text block edges. Text block is also very subtly pulled at the head. Otherwise, the volume is clean and square. The dust jacket shows general moderate shelfwear and is lightly age toned, which is pronounced at the folds and corners. "A reinterpretation of rites and symbols illuminating some of the dark corners of primordial society. Intrigued by Velikovsky's claim that Saturn was once the pre-eminent planetary god, David Talbott resolved to examine its mythical character. 'I wanted to know,' he wrote, 'if ancient sources had a coherent story to tell about the planet.I had no inkling of the spectacular tale hidden in the chronicles.'" Dust jacket illustration by J. Pendley Smith. Dust jacket typography by Judith Turner.…
