It’s a good book.
I was looking for a hardback copy for years and finally found one.
This one on Internet is great though.

Lol, I have a first edition thats supposed to arrive any day now, damn media mail didnt have tracking. I think with this new wave in psychedelic therapy approaching that these hard cover first editions are going to go up in value real quick. Less than 1000 avail. Thanks for posting, others for sure are not, old school, like me. "It may be that my role in the universe is, to question my role in the universe."

I'm dating myself here, but I have a copy of the slipcased, numbered and signed first edition. It's on the top shelf of my top shelf.  If I recall, only 300 copies exist. And thanks for the link! I already asked Alice.

No problem guys, glad to post the link. I've had plenty of my books in my time, the only first editions were "Sand and Foam" by Kahil Gibran, and "The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" by Richard Bach. I used to try to collect first editions and rare books, but that's not a terribly fruitful hobby for one of meager means. Sadly, most of my books have now been loaned or lost through the years and it tickles me to see the internet becoming such a wealth of .pdf's  Author of this Post assumes no Responsibility, nor makes any Guarantee of the Accuracy or Validity of material in this Post.

In order to get Pharmacotheon published Ott essentially crowdfunded it before there really was such a thing. If you were in the loose network that was the psychedelic community at the time, you could pre-pay for a subscriptiion, basically, to get a copy of the first edition to come out. Everybody who did that got their name in the back of the book in a list of donors. A certain somebody I know has their name in there.  I even kept all the correspondence from Jonathan Ott updating donors on the progress of the book, including difficulties he had with the maker of the slipcovers and such. Ancient history at this point but reading that stuff brings back the excitement and anticipation of waiting for the book to come out. I knew someone close to Ott and we knew it was going to be an awesome book. Didn't know it was going to be a landmark though! I was indeed blown away once I got my copy.  I already asked Alice.

Looks like both my first eds. came in on the same day. Just a little light reading... GLTASN attached the following image(s):  20190717_154131.jpg (5,276kb) downloaded 40 time(s)."It may be that my role in the universe is, to question my role in the universe."
