Autobiography of a Yogi
New York: The Philosophical Library, 1946.
498 pp. First edition, first printing. Signed by Paramhansa Yogananda and inscribed to former owner, silent film comedian Harold Lloyd.

He was only the fourth to be honored with a concrete ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theater on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which preserved his hand prints, footprints, autograph and an outline of Lloyd's iconic glasses. Bound in publisher's blue cloth with blue topstain and titles stamped in gilt, lacking the dust jacket. Near Fine, with light rubbing to cloth at extremities and a tiny chip near crown. A lovely copy, inscribed by the author to a beloved film star of early Hollywood.
