This mystery is a difficult one because I have not read it. Hoping there is a super sleuth out there that can help. Below is the only information I have on it at the current moment:

In the title of the book it says BUDDHISM FROM THE NORTH. There is a MAP on the cover and a SQUIGGLY LINE that runs down the map. The book is about Northern Buddhism.

Have you tried searching Worldcat, Goodreads, and google books on title?

[Patrick]

Yes, even library of congress. Not enough info to go on.

Patrick, is this a non-fiction book for adults? Which countries are covered?

Around what year did you read (or first see) this book?

[Kris]

A few guesses (some books might have multiple cover images):

- Northern Buddhism in History (2008) by Shanker Thapa?

- The Gods of Northern Buddhism: Their History and Iconography (1962) by Alice Getty?

- The Northern School and the Formation of Early Ch'an Buddhism (1986) by John R. McRae?

- Northern Frontiers of Buddhism: Buddhist Heritage of Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kalmykia, Tibet, China, Mongolia and Siberia (2014) by Benoy K. Behl?

It was back in the 80’s. Thanks. I will check these. Maybe they are reprint dates.
