The ads in the back are fabulous, which is why I included photos of them.  The same company that published Pathways of the Holy Land advertises, a few pages later, Sexual Science. You have to read the description.

Note that the book is not in good condition on the outside, including missing its spine. The pages, however, are in very good condition. The book could be re-bound and can also be enjoyed as-is.
