The Serpent in Kwakiutl Religion: A Study in Primitive Culture
Late E.J. Brill Ltd. 8vo, brown cloth, gilt titles, 118pp. Library bound softcover book with wrappers sewn into cloth, withdrawn copy from Columbia University. Board corners bumped, fraying to cloth at spine, chipping to preliminary pages. Library stamps to endpapers, pages gently marked in pencil. Binding firm. Anthropological study of a Northwestern American Indian tribe and their religion, in particular the figure of the serpent in their mythology. Black and white illustrated plates. From the personal library of Television frontman Tom Verlaine, songwriter, guitarist and book collector, featuring his handwriting on a tipped-in paper slip. A nice copy. Good.
