"This is a volume that will be treasured by the confirmed Jungian
or by admirers of beautifully made books or by those with a taste
for philosophical allegory." -- Michael Dirda - The Washington
Post
"For Christmas I'd like Carl Jung's The Red Book." --
Talitha Stevenson, Books of the Year 2013 - The Observer
"I was amazed... by the illustrations Carl Gustav Jung made for
The Red Book, which is considered the holy grail of the
unconscious." -- W Magazine
"...for such an arcane work [The Red Book] is generating
quite a buzz... publishing The Red Book opens a new era in
understanding Jung's work. It is a unique window on the
construction of one of the world's most influential psychologies."
-- New Scientist
"The book is witness to a rare dedication to psychological
research, and a prodigious curiosity. More crucially, at a time
when the limits of materialism are being tested and found wanting,
Jung's confidence in a spiritual dimension to human consciousness
must have a renewed appeal. For this, the book deserves attention,
especially when established religious models are fading in
popularity and the search for a meaningful life seems to have
become increasingly urgent and elusive." -- Sally Vickers - The
Times
