Greatest Book Cover Ever

T. Lobsang Rampa - The Third Eye

This is my all-time favorite book cover: Tuesday Lobsang Rampa’s The Third Eye. I just love the gaze and the red crystal, he looks so magnificent on the cover! This is a Corgi Edition from 1975. I was purchasing some books from an Ebay seller, and when I saw this I had to buy it. I knew nothing about the author or the controversy surrounding the book until after purchasing it. I wasn’t disappointed like some, I really enjoyed the book. Personally, I don’t care if Rampa was a fraud or not, either way it was quite an enjoyable read. The Tibet he describes (real or not) sounds like such an incredible place, and he describes it so vividly as to make me want to be there. I’ve also read As It Was! which I did not enjoy as much, but it was still very interesting. If you can focus on taking in the story in the book, and not worry about whether or not he’s pulling your chain, I think you can find this book quite enjoyable.

    I’m not sure I know what you mean… I wouldn’t want to you copy the entire post verbatim… if you want to use the image, that’s fine. A link with a quote is fine as well. BTW, you didn’t specify what your site is.
