THE BOOK OF THE BOOK

Idries Shah

Octagon Press, London, 1969

An extraordinary psychological test, in that it predicts the complete range of possible responses to itself.'
--Sunday Telegraph

'Don't be misled if Shah's transmission of the story holds surprises.'
--Tribune

'Tells how people judge by appearances.'
--Evening News

'BEYOND WORDS -- it is not a literary joke...Idries Shah, the writer, is, of course, neither a joker nor a crank, but a distinguished authority on Sufism, some of whose other books have been hailed as 'Book of the Year'...'
--The Observer

'An astonishing book.'
--Sunday Mirror

'Idries Shah makes a reviewer's job impertinent and superfluous; one can only direct attention to the book.'
--The Enquirer
