[Rarebooks] FS: Authentic SIGNED Thomas Merton

[Charles Agvent]

Because Merton's handwriting is so small and somewhat sloppy, he has 
been a favorite of those who practice the crime of forgery.  Be careful 
what you purchase.

MERTON, Thomas. THOUGHTS IN SOLITUDE. New York: Farrar, Straus & Cudahy, 
(1961). First Edition. Second Printing of this collection of 
meditations. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: 
"To Miss -----/at the request of -----/with my blessings + prayers/in 
our Lord/Thomas Merton." Merton tended to sign as "Father Louis" in most 
of the trade editions of his books that we have encountered. Wear to the 
head of the spine of the book; dustwrapper with some tape repairs. Very 
Good in a Good or better dustwrapper. (#014752)        $1,250.00
