Any comments will be found in the thought stream below.
This is a beautiful book with pages almost stiffer than its cover. Entrancing artwork by Harry O. Morris, arch grey partitions, introduction by Paul Tremblay, and with Joseph S. Pulver, Sr.’s afterworded circumstances of its rediscovery as a text now published for the first time after having been kept in Joe’s own cupboard for many eons. But the work represents, it seems, an appendix to or an original throwaway from or, more likely, a now realised lost highlight from the author’s much earlier success, ‘The Divinity Student’, in the early 1990s, something I have not yet read.
