Add to basketRampa, T[uesday] Lobsang (pseudonym of Cyril Henry Hoskins). The Third Eye: The Autobiography of a Tibetan Lama. Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1957. First U.S. edition. Octavo, 256 pp. Original brick-red cloth, spine panel stamped in silver, top edge of text block stained red. Illustrated by Tessa Theobald with B&W vignettes throughout text. A previous owner has written "KIBLINGER" along bottom edge of text block and some sort of accession code along the top edge, in addition to putting his name and address on the front paste-down (clearly intending to warn off any who would dare to make off with this sacred treasure). A fine copy otherwise in a very good dust jacket with some foxing and faint obscure (or esoteric) spotting. #3331. $75. An enthusiastic hoax accomplished by the son of a plumber in Devon, England. Despite being exposed, he ploughed ahead, claiming that he only used to be Cyril Henry Hoskins but, after undergoing surgery to open his mystical "third eye", he really did become Tuesday Lobsang Rampa. Even more curious perhaps was the success of the book, which was translated into at least three other languages and went through numerous editions, encouraging the author to pen twelve more books before his death in 1981. The author's nom de plume has been interpreted by some occult scholars to signify "On Tuesday the Lobster Sang for Grampa.".
