This fascinating book documents Upton Sinclair's famous test that he devised in an attempt to authenticate his second wife's supposed psychic abilities, who, at the time, was suffering from depression and had a keen interest in the occult. The test consisted of her attempts to accurately duplicate two hundred and ninety different pictures that her brother drew in a separate room. According to Sinclair, she was able to accurately duplicate sixty-five of them; one hundred and fifty-five he considered 'partial successes, and seventy were failures. This text comprises the results of these tests, complete with original drawings, the attempts at duplication, and a wealth of notes and comments. The original German edition of this book was prefaced by Albert Einstein, who was a friend of Sinclair, and admired the book. We are republishing this antiquarian text now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a new prefatory biography of the author.

It just confirms what I already knew, that humans can communicate mentally. I say dry because it is similar in a way to a book I read many years ago out of Duke University on psychokinesis . Both books bend over backward to show their not influencing the results which can be tedious at times. Nonetheless, if you are interested in telepathy this should interest you..

Great background information
From the early days of ESP research, when "telepathy" was a concept, not a popular term, this book documents the author's experiences with mental communication.
For anyone familiar with Sinclair's cynicism, this book is a real jolt. However, if you're familiar with Sinclair's writing style, this book is a delight as well.
The information is compelling, and the story is well-told by someone who, initially, had difficulty believing this himself.
If you're looking for something scientific or modern, this probably isn't the best book for you.
However, if you're interested in the history and development of ESP-related studies, this is a must-read.
