Mohan-Mālā (A Gandhian Rosary)

Ahmedabad: Navajivan Publishing House, 1959. Second revised edition. Frontis, [154]pp. 12mp. Blue quarter-calf, gilt spine titles. Rubbing to ends of the sunned spine, lightly toned leaves. Very good.

Early reprint of this work gathering 366 aphoristic "Pearls of Thought" from the writings and speeches of Mahatma Gandhi, as compiled and with a brief preface by R. K. Pradhu. As we can find no other evidence of copies bound in anything but wrappers, our best guess is that this was a contemporary rebinding (in which case lacking the original wraps). Nonetheless, an attractive early copy of an oft-reprinted title.
