Between the Covers

Softcover. Vol. I, No. 3 - Vol. 2, No. 2. Four consecutive issues of this quarterly. Octavos. Just under 200 pages total. Stapled wrappers. Each issue with the owner name and stamp (one with name twice) of noted American psychologist Henry Guze, a cofounder of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex, on the front cover (he has also bracketed the title of one cover article), light general tanning and wear, and front cover of the final issue tanned and a bit soiled, a nicely preserved, close to near fine set. Laid in to the final issue is a renewal reminder and one-sheet publisher's ad for Wilhelm Reich's *Ether, God and Devil*, which was issued as The Annals of the Orgone Institute Number 2.

Reich himself contributes five articles in these issues: "Orgonomic functionalism. Part II"; "Cosmic orgone energy and 'ether'"; "Orgonotic light functions. Part 3"; "Orgonomic functionalism. Part II (Cont.)"; and "About genital self-satisfaction in children (1927)." Additional contributions by physicist Walter Hoppe, Ola Raknes, Victor M. Sobey, Elsworth F. Baker (who would found the American College of Orgonomy in 1968), Richard Singer, Alexander Lowen (founder of the International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis), Simeon J. Tropp, A. E. Hamilton, *Summerhill* author A.S. Neill, William A. Anderson, and Jakob Baumann.
