NY, Delacorte, (1970). An early book attempting to understand scientology and address the question of whether it was a legitimate religion that encompassed a new understanding of the Self or if it was a scam put together by one-time science fiction and fantasy author L. Ron Hubbard to hoodwink the credulous. Inscribed by Malko to film critic Pauline Kael: "For Pauline, with deep appreciation/ George/ Oct. 1971." A thought-provoking presentation, given the extent to which advocates of scientology seem to proliferate in the film business. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with light wear to the corners and spine extremities. [#028801] SOLD
