Todd Pratum Bookdealer Est.1981 263 Athol Avenue, No.8, Oakland California 94606

510.835.1766 Knowledge@Pratum.com

All books are the first printings of the first edition, in their original bindings, in very good to fine condition, (no underlinings, library marks, worn bindings, etc) and OP in the edition offered unless specifically noted otherwise. I usually only have one copy each so order quickly to avoid disappointment.

PRICES: I have carefully, painstakingly checked every book here against the Almighty Internet and priced them as low as possible, almost always cheaper than anything comparable. The internet is full of erroneous listings, spurious “dealers,” “bookjackers,” blurry reprints and ridiculously high prices on many of the books offered here. I use ViaLibri.net, the largest and most complete search engine and unlike others ViaLibri is not owned by Amazon (though it does search Amazon, which now controls 75% of all books sold in the US). I’ve listed none of these books on the net but will soon.

PAYMENT: I prefer to be paid by check, payable to Todd Pratum, however if you would rather use PayPal then please do so. New customers please pre-pay your first order, past customers will receive their books with an invoice, payment on receipt. At this point I am not accepting credit cards.

LIBRARIES: Institutional libraries billed according to your budgetary needs, books sent on approval. Please let me know what your collecting fields are, and do forward my catalog to colleagues if so inspired.

POSTAGE Postage at cost, generally $4.00 - $6.00 for the average order, foreign orders sent by air. California addresses charged 9.5% sales tax.

FOREIGN CUSTOMERS: We have regular customers all over the world. We pack your books very carefully and offer the lowest postage rates possible. Books will be sent by cheapest airmail, (surface mail no longer available) and insured at cost. If you need a postage quote let me know. Payment by bank wire, US dollar check or PayPal.

RETURNS: As always any purchase is returnable for any or no reason, (though a brief explanation helps), please pack well and mail back promptly. If prepaid you will be refunded by check, or PayPal if that was your payment method.

Announcing the Release of Jacques Vallee’s

WONDERS IN THE SKY

Authors: Jacques Vallée and Chris Aubeck, with the Magoniax research team

Availabi l i ty: Just released, August 2016Total print run: 500 copies signed, numbered & slipcased, 250 already soldIncludes: Separate portfolio of 20 rare ancient broadsheet posters and a facsimile of a 17th century coin representing a legendary round shield from the sky

"A riveting historical framework"

Meticulous attention to scientific detail is a hallmark of Vallée’s books, and Wonders in the Sky is a case study in objectivity. Such focus makes this new edition of Wonders in the Sky a landmark and a case study in the scientific literature: how to avoid dogma while still leaving open the wonders of what role we play in a larger reality.

-Dr. Garry Nolan, Professor of Microbiology & Immunology,Stanford University

"A new standard and a new aesthetic"

Anyone who has dipped into the world of ufology knows just how difficult it is to find an able guide through the dark deep forest of the phenomena, which are diverse, confusing, and often, or so it seems, intentionally confusing. Two beacons high above this forest have been the work of Jacques Vallée and the web-based “Magoniax” research team of Chris Aubeck and his colleagues. The result is a beautiful synthesis of the humanities and the sciences, of the human imagination and the computer, of the visual arts and the art of scholarship.

-Dr. Jeffrey J. Kripal, Professor of ReligionChairman of the Religious Studies department, Rice University

"That, I believe, is true science: to follow the data wherever they lead"

Their rigorously scientific insistence allows Vallée and Aubeck to retain the most challenging and interesting aspects of these events without the distraction of premature commitment to any particular interpretation. A willingness to combine documentary research, the heart of humanities scholarship, with physical and astrophysical knowledge is rare.

- Dr. David Hufford, Author, “The Terror That Comes in the Night”

Professor Emeritus of Humanities and Psychiatry, Penn State College of MedicineAdjunct Professor of Religious Studies, University of Pennsylvania
