195451542New York: E.P. Dutton 1954. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. When a mortician appears on television to declare that death is infinitely preferable to life he sparks a religious movement that quickly leaves Christianity and most of Islam in the dust.

Some mild fading along the extremities of the boards with a small nick to the spine head. The dust jacket is moderately shelfworn with a closed tear to the rear panel and a bit of occasional shallow chipping; otherwise very good. <br/><br/> E.P. Dutton hardcover books
