Presentation copy inscribed by Brian Wilson on the half-title page "To Glen Brian Wilson" signed by Todd Gold on the title page and inscribed by Dr. Eugene Landy on the dedication page "To Glenn Eugene E. Landy." The recipient Glenn Goldman founded Book Soup in 1975 an independently owned bookstore on Sunset Strip in West Hollywood specializing in art music film photography design and fiction. American psychotherapist Dr. Eugene E. Landy was best known for his unconventional psychological treatments especially for his treatment of Wilson in the 1970s and 80s in which he essentially took control of his life monitoring him 24 hours a day with a team of assistants to keep him sober. The treatment was later deemed unethical by Californian courts and was later dramatized in the 2014 biographical film Love & Mercy in which Landy is portrayed by Paul Giamatti. Wilson dedicated the present volume to Landy. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Suzanne Noli. Jacket photograph by Mark Hanauer. A unique example. Wilson's first memoir Wouldn't It Be Nice not only documents the Beach Boys' rise to fame but their founder's twenty year struggle with drug addiction alcoholism obesity and mental illness.

Born of poor parents in Goerlitz Germany as a boy he tended cattle later becoming a shoemaker marrying & fathering 4 children. Boehme at the robust age of 37 in 1612 wrote his first treatise Aurora oder Die Morgenroete in Aufgang. In 1613 an unauthorized copy of the manuscript was copied and circulated by Karl von Ender. Its reception "raised him out of his homely sphere and made him the centre of a local circle of liberal thinkers considerably above him in station and culture." However the local pastor primarius of Gorlitz Gregorius Richter leveled a charge of heresy. The local muncipal council administered an admonishment to no further "meddle in such matters." This charge Boehme publicly followed for 5 years. In 1618 Boehme again started writing expository & polemical treatises. The majority of his works were written though not formally published from 1619 - 1624. A second major work Der Weg zu Christo was published in 1624 and signaled a renewal of clerical hostility. Boehem however was destined to suffer but a short period of this second persecution; he died of an illness on 17 November 1624. Boehme has been said to have a "fertility of ideas" and a "trasncendent greatness of religious insight." Boehme was studied by Sir Isaac Newton and influenced the work Henry More as well as and especially William Law 1686 - 1761. Xl Questions concerning the Soule was translated by the English mystic John Sparrow in collaboration with John Ellstone & financed by Humphrey Blunden. This the first of several works by Boehme that Sparrow & Ellstone were to translate into English between 1644 - 1662. Boehme proved to be highly popular in England where there were regular societies of Behmenists at the time. This work XL Questions went into a second edition in 1648 and a third edition in 1665. 11th EB. A scarce title in the Boehme canon. We find no copies currently offered via the major on-line databases OCLC records but 4 institional cc and the work has only appeared at auction 3 times in the last 25 years the last in 1989.
