The Seven Storey Mountain.

First edition, first-issue binding in white cloth and in the first-issue dust jacket with the photo on rear panel captioned: "Author is second from the left." One of 6,000 copies. Fine in a near fine dust jacket that shows one small chip to the bottom front panel. Inscribed by the author on the half-title, "For Mary with best wishes Thomas Merton". One of the few spiritual classics of the twentieth century, scarce signed and inscribed.
