About this Item

First Edition. Hardcover. 81/2" 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. 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". 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. Light foxing to edges of text block, scattered relevant penciled marginalia. A bright, attractive copy, presenting nicely in a protective archival jacket cover.

Store Description

Underground Books, ABAA is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe. Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women?s Initiative Mentorship Program. We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes. Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
