J.C. Cooper's encyclopaedia for Thames and Hudson: close to 1,500 entries and 210 illustrations, running from Tao and Tantra through Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Pre-Columbian religion to Voodoo, tracking what each symbol has meant and to whom. It handles the horseshoe question, the black cat question, and the awkward one about the swastika.
Cover clean with light scuffing. The spine shows wear and creasing, and there is a small stain on the back cover.
