"Is there anybody there"?

[loobyloo6]

Firsat of 2 finds this weekend. Picked this up for £2 in Blackburn yesterday. Hardbacked first edition from 2004 titled "Talking to the Dead" Kate and Maggie Fox and the rise of Spiritualism signed by Author Barbara Weisberg. The book was published over in the States. No my cup of tea but plenty out there believe in this. The book also has an inscription on one of the front pages which reads "For Evelyn with warm regardson this wonderful night at Elaines, All best Barbara 04/8/04.

Barbara Weisberg is the author of Talking to the Dead: Kate and Maggie Fox and the Rise of Spiritualism. She is a published poet and also the author of several children’s books. Before turning to writing full time, she was a television producer whose eclectic credits included creating the situation comedy series “Charles in Charge” and producing “To Care,” a documentary on home care for the terminally ill that was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

I thought the title of your post was referring to every lurker who joined this forum and does not contribute. It might as well be. 😉

I am sure it is of interest to some, but I personally think it is shameless fraud that trades on grieving people when they are not thinking straight.

My thought exactly Nigel.

Still an interesting find a future collectable in its own right but agree about it preying on vulnerable people.

If any book is going to fall of the shelf in a mysterious way, it'll be this one. 

Nice find, Alex but not my cup of tea either.
