Here is a book that has a legendary past: psychologist Carl Jung's personal record of his visions, documented in calligraphic text and color illustrations, called the Red Book.
Jung's family has kept this private volume locked up for decades, and finally it is being published.
The original is now on view at the Rubin Museum of Art (one of my favorite museums in New York, a mysterious treasure box of ancient Himalayan art).
The museum is posting pictures of the pages on its website, as each page is turned.
This is a good thing because this is an expensive book with a list price of $195! Amazon has it at a discounted price of $114.07.
