Publisher: University of New Mexico Press
Pub Date: 1975 and 1984 (Second printing)

Condition: 3 copies. Copy 1 (RCL): Fair to Good. Binding tight. No tears, bends or folds. Previous owner’s name stamped on inside front cover and all three text blocks. Edge and corner wear. Smudging to bottom of text block and rear (white) cover. Copy 2 (SR): Fair. Binding tight. Aside from being smudged on both covers and all text blocks the principal fault of this copy is on the lower rear cover. Some previous owner (or perhaps the publisher) has punched a hole in the rear cover and that extends, in diminishing size, through the last 85 pages of the book. It doesn’t affect the text at all. I always liken this to a hole punched by a protractor. One pencil marking (underlining) on p. 156. Copy 3 (SR): Fair. Binding tight. No marks, tears, bends or folds. Upper front cover corner a spine head sun-faded. All corners worn. One small spot on side text block. Smudging to rear cover.
Notes: “This volume, the result of an advanced seminar at the School of American Research, takes a fresh look at Pueblo Indian culture, with chapters on everything from language to religion, prehistory, ecology, and from literature to music. Alfonso Ortiz molded the work of a diverse set of contributors into a cohesive and comprehensive examination that is informative and enjoyable to the scholarly and lay reader alike. The results show that evidence for the diversity of origin for prehistoric Pueblo cultures seems greater than ever.” (From the School of American Research, https://sarweb.org/new-perspectives-on-the-pueblos/ )
