Good solid condition with wear at spine ends and edges of cover, name and date on first page, no dust jacket, as issued. One of the more recognizable books on psychedelic drugs from the 1960s, a guide to navigating death of the ego by three of the most well-known early proponents of the use of LSD. The first printing was 10,000 copies and 60,000 hardcovers were eventually sold (Timothy Leary: A Biography by Robert Greenfield, p. 219) "The authors were engaged in a program of experiments with LSD and other psychedelic drugs at Harvard University until sensational national publicity unfairly concentrating on student interest in the drugs, led to the suspension of the experiments. Since then, the authors have continued their work without academic auspices"-from the front cover. "The Psychedelic Experience was taken so seriously by LSD users that when people failed to have the experience described within its covers, they blamed themselves. Somehow they had failed the acid trip."-Greenfield, p. 219. 159 pages. 8-1/4 by 9-1/2 inches
