Condition Continued: These thin tears are no more than cosmetic, the binding of both covers is very solid. That is also the case for all of the pages in the book. They are nicely tight, there are no cracks or spaces between any of the facing pages. The pages are very clean. Scrolling through, I haven't come across any instances of conspicuous soiling (or inconspicuous soiling). The pages are lightly, but uniformly, toned. I'm also not seeing any conspicuous creasing. I saw a few instances of minor crinkling. There is a 1 inch (exactly) thin tear off the middle edge of the green front end paper and, in the same place, a 7/8th" thin tear off the middle edge of the title page (obviously coming nowhere near the print). I didn't see any other tears in the book. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. I should also mention that there are a number of illustrations. They all appear to be in excellent condition.
C. G. Jung, Maine, 1937. Hardcover. Written by C. G. Jung. First Edition (NAP). This is a very rare book. I saw only one other for sale on the Internet. I have priced my book $100.00 below that copy.
From the first page: 'These Notes are for the use of the members of the Bailey Island Seminar with the understanding that no part of them is to be copied, loaned or quoted for publication without Dr. Jung's written permission. The aim of the Committee, in response to the request of many members of the Seminar, has been to keep the talks as nearly as possible as Dr. Jung delivered them, thereby conserving the informality of the spoken lectures. Dr. Jung has consented to let these notes be distributed to those present at the talks without his final suggestions or corrections. Any errors or shortcomings that have occurred are the responsibility of the Notes Committee.' The Notes Committee was composed of Kristine Mann (Chairman), M. Esther Harding, and Eleanor Bertine.'
'Carl Jung visited Bailey Island in 1936 and gave a series of lectures in a Georgian Revival styled library, Bailey Island Library Hall. Kristine Mann, a then Jungian follower, spent her childhood summers on Bailey Island. Other Jungian psychoanalysts including Mary Esther Harding and Eleanor Bertine later accompanied Mann to the island, making it a popular summer destination for Jungian followers. As discussed in Jung's book, Dream Symbols of the Individuation Process, he lectured over a period of eleven days, six on Bailey Island, about physicist/Nobel Prize laureate Wolfgang Pauli’s dreams, covering 34 of an intended 81 during his stay. Jung's seminars and texts are mostly translated from German, using highly edited notes. However, the Bailey Island seminars served as the first time Jung spoke to an American audience informally with little editing to the notes afterward.'
