8vo. Siena cloth, dust jacket. Rubber-stamp: "Damaged" [but I do not see any damage whatsoever]. Very good. McHargue was an editor at Doubleday. She wrote 35 books centering mostly on her favorite topics: "oddities and unusual lore, from monsters and mythology to mediums." [jacket]. "Her book Facts, Frauds, and Phantasms: A Survey of the Spiritualist Movement (1972) was a skeptical study of spiritualism. The book exposed fraudulent mediums and was described in one review as a "well researched and intriguing case study in human gullibility."" [Kirkus Reviews]. Dust jacket present.
