Hardcover book titled 'ESP: A Personal Memoir' by Rosalind Heywood

Published in 1964, this memoir documents the personal experiences of Rosalind Heywood, a prominent British researcher and practitioner in the field of extrasensory perception and parapsychology. Heywood was a respected figure in the Society for Psychical Research and her work contributed significantly to mid-20th century investigations into paranormal phenomena. The book represents an important primary source in the history of parapsychological research during a period when ESP studies gained considerable academic and public interest. This memoir appeals to collectors of parapsychology literature, historians of science studying fringe research movements, and enthusiasts of mid-century occult and metaphysical studies. First edition copies, particularly those in good condition with intact dust jackets, are valued by specialized book collectors who focus on the history of psychical research and the cultural fascination with ESP during the Cold War era. The book's personal narrative approach makes it both a historical document and an engaging read for those interested in the intersection of science, belief, and personal experience.
