The Astrolearn bookshop is temporarily closed for 14 days Friday December 13th to Thursday December 26th inclusive. This is because of the unreliability of the Christmas post and very high volumes of writing and editing work over this period. Please check back on Friday December 27th, when the shop will reopen and this notice will be removed.

The first essay, Dissonant Harmony, together with the beginning of the second one, The New Sense of Space, has some plain-pencilled underlining and marginal bracketing, which could be erased if not wanted. I found no markings after p. 7 of The New Sense of Space or to any of the five remaining essays, although similar minor plain-pencilled markings are possible. No permanent internal markings or other faults found. A very good copy of a very scarce and early book by Rudhyar.
