BROWN, Norman O. Hermes the Thief. The Evolution of a Myth. (Madison): University of Wisconsin Press, 1947. Small octavo, 164pp. First edition of Brown's first book, written while he was still a Professor of Classics, over a decade prior to his emergence as a herald of the countercultural criticism and the new consciousness in the 60s with the publication of Life Against Death and Love's Body -- though with hindsight, one can imagine the attraction the trickster figure and namesake of hermeneutics would have held for Brown. Fine in green linen-covered boards and near fine illustrated pale green dust jacket with modest tanning to spine and, to a lesser degree, to margins of front and rear panels. Scarce.
