ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Living Without Strain: The Inner Meaning of the Book of Job by Dr. Joseph Murphy - SIGNED, Possible 1959 First Edition - Here, Dr. Murphy reveals, through the Biblical Book of Job, that within you is the power to transcend problems and circumstances.Offered here is a hardcover copy of Living Without Strain by Dr. Joseph Murphy, D.D., PhD., LL.D., Lit.D., copyright 1959, published by Willing Publishing Co. of San Gabriel, California. Willing Publishing was Murphy's own small independent publisher during the 1950s and early 1960s, before DeVorss & Co. took over his catalog and became the source of the reprints that dominate the market today.
A copyright page bearing the Willing Publishing imprint is a strong indicator this is a true first edition/first printing, not a later reprint carrying over the original copyright date.
The book also includes the original "Books by Dr. Joseph Murphy" order page listing his Willing Publishing titles by price - a nice piece of bibliographic detail tying the copy to that specific early era of his catalog. Murphy was one of the most influential figures in the New Thought / human potential movement of the 20th century, best known for his bestseller The Power of Your Subconscious Mind (millions of copies sold, still in print today).
This copy is SIGNED by Joseph Murphy (signature only, no inscription/dedication to a specific person).
