John C. Lilly. 
 
Doubleday: 1961. First edition. Hardcover in a jacket. Scuffs and tears along the edges of the jacket. Deeper tear on the crown of the spine of the jacket but the parts are still there. Jacket is price clipped. Scuffs along the edges of the boards as well as one small bend, and there is a red ink spot on the bottom edge. Book plate on the endpaper, and there are stains on the endpapers as well. A ripple runs down the margin on the leaves. 312 pages. Book is very good, jacket is good. 
 
The human race is thought to be alone, preeminent in its intelligence and therefore unable to communicate with other creatures. Dr. Lilly attempts to end this way of thinking. This is his record of the scientific voyage to communicate with another species who also have large brains and who've lived alongside us for millenia. 
 
"Eventually it may be possible for humans to speak with another species. I have come to this conclusion after careful consideration of evidence gained through my research experiments with dolphins."
