Geopsychic Wonders of New Orleans, by Bookhardt and Newlin

Description: New Orleans is a city that dwells within its own aura, and that aura is one of mystery and uniqueness. To the casual observer, these phenomena may take the form of the standard fixtures of the guidebook or the historical chronicle, the ritual formalities of Jackson Square, the Garden district and the spring Fiesta, the plantations and the Creole restaurants. These cultural-historical relics certainly do play a significant role in the overall ambience of the place, but the view is somewhat superficial. In order to penetrate the veil of mystery, it is necessary to wedge one's foot in the door of perception, so to speak , in order that one may peer intently into the vaporous world beyond. “New Orleans is a city that dwells within its own aura, and that aura is one of mystery and uniqueness.” So begins the introduction to writer Jon Newlin and photographer D. Eric Bookhardt’s Geopsychic Wonders of New Orleans, a curious and wonderful collection of evocative photographs and delirious prose first published privately in 1978. This is a very good, near fine first edition. Long out of print. --------------- Mild handling wear, mainly along spine area; corners slightly bumped and rounded (see photos).
