A Red-Letter Day For Jung

November 11th, 2009

So it appears that a few of you on the Internets have sailed in looking for a copy of Carl Jung’s Red Book, aka Liber Novus. Well, I’ve spoken to Eric at the bookloft, and he tells me that the first edition is sold out. But he does expect to get more in after Christmas. Any rate, I will keep you informed.

In the meantime, I managed to check out the exhibit of the Book itself that’s being held at the Rubin Museum Of Art in New York City. It’s still there, in case you happen to be in the area, and you can also check out their lovely permanent collection of Himalayan Buddhist art while you’re at it. Here’s a few photos of the exhibition I managed to sneak in while I was at it.
