C.S. Nott wrote two books that capture the feeling of being with Mr. Gurdjieff, chronicle the classic years of the Prieure, and also give an indication of the level of inner work that was going on for him. Excellent reading, particularly the first book. Unfortunately, most of the volumes Ihave seen around are sometimes on the more expensive side, but you do find more affordable volumes. Sometimes the price may be based more on the rarity of the book, take some time and shop around, especially Ebay has deals.
