	<![CDATA[ 
		Written on all  sides of a sheet of  off-white notepaper, folded once to give four 8 x 5  inch pages.  Crowley has written 'die Mercurii' &#91;'Wednesday], 'Jan. 8,' and although otherwise undated the contents of the letter indicate that it was written on January 8, 1941.   Much of the letter is taken up with business matters, details of money received and to be paid, etc. etc.  Crowley also refers to a planned visit by Frieda Harris, suggesting that she delay it until she has completed the design of the Princes of the Tarot deck.  He also chides her on the subject of her Yi King studies, which clealy he does not feel are up to par.   The letter begins and ends with the Thelemic greetings, and is signed "Fraternally,   Aleister."     From the collection of former Crowley associate, Edward Noel Fitzgerald, (1908-1958), Frater Agape,  a IX degree member of the O.T.O.  who was also a friend of Lady Harris.  The letter has been torn horizontally across the middle, and is in two halves.  The tear is quite clean, and it would probably be possible to have it almost invisibly repaired, however we are selling it 'as is.'  A few light creases but otherwise Very Good.

		Softcover. 8vo. 384pp. Printed pictorial wrappers. Diagrams and Ills.  Whilst "dealing with diverse and extraordinary subjects," this book focuses particularly on the Beast, and the various individuals, movements and madnesses that have followed on from him. Discussions of Crowley, Thelema, magick, and mysticism lead to explorations of the life and thought of Gerald Gardner, Kenneth Grant, L. Ron Hubbard, Timothy Leary, Jack Parsons, Robert Anton Wilson and others. The author also explores a number of bizarre and sometimes bewildering subjects, from the atom bomb and hallucinogens, to Nazi occultism, UFO's and "the Sirius Mystery", with various divergences and forays into sixties popular culture, Illuminati, Men in Black, the Church of Satan, the Process Church, Manson murders, the Thule Society, 'New Aeon English Qabalah', and the alleged secret United States government research into time travel said to have been conducted at Montauk Air Force Station. One reviewer has not unreasonably likened the work to that of Robert Anton Wilson on account of its scope and sometimes deliberately surreal perspectives. New book thus Fine condition.

	<![CDATA[ 
		Hardcover. 8vo. x + 246pp. Black cloth with gilt titling to spine, b&w frontis, appendixes, index. Edition limited to 777 numbered copies. "The Magickal Essence of Aleister Crowley" focuses on the central philosophies and practices of Magick, in particular the "attainment of the knowledge and conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel," and the secrets that lie at the heart of Crowley's "Liber Aleph" and "The Book of Lies." The text has its origins in a series of instructions that Aleister Crowley gave to an American disciple, Grady Louis McMurtry, during the last years of the Second World War. McMurtry returned to the United States, and in his later years went on to head both the O.T.O. and his own lineage of the A.'. A.'. He became both friend and mentor to the author of this book, J. Edward Cornelius, to whom he confided the secrets and teachings that he had received from Crowley. Following McMurtry's death, Cornelius explored these insights in a series of "Epistles" that were privately circulated amongst his own students. In 1999, he made a synthesis of these teachings, which he published in the Red Flame series of journals under the title "The Magickal Essence of Aleister Crowley." It sold out rapidly, and soon became one of the most sought after modern explorations of Crowley's work. In the decade that has elapsed since the publication of the original Red Flame edition of the book, Cornelius has carefully reworked the text, removing sections that he no longer felt to be of relevance, clarifying passages that some of his students found difficult or perplexing, and extensively revising and augmenting the rest. In the process he has added fifteen new chapters, effectively reshaping the entire publication, and filling it with new insights for those interested in the Magick of "the Beast."  New book thus Fine in fine dust jacket.

		Softcover, 8vo, 8 x 5 inches (21 x 12.5 cm). 20pp. Original illustrated wrappers, the upper wrapper of which reproduces in colour an early design of the first trump, The Magician (when the deck was eventually published the title was changed to 'The Magus' and a much different design used). A catalog produced to accompany the first exhibition of the designs for the Thoth cards, which was supposed to have been held at the Nicholson and Venn Galleries, in Oxford, in June 1941. At the last moment Nicholson and Venn withdrew from the arrangement - presumably fearing adverse publicity - and Frieda Harris was forced to hold the exhibition in hastily hired rooms at a nearby hotel.  Crowley was understandably furious with the gallery, who he also accused of keeping valuable mail of his, and in a letter to Harris wrote "I would like a package of catalogues, with the names of any liars and thieves cut out."  Harris obliged, removing the bottom half of the title page of the catalog - that is the section on which the name, address and other details of now-loathed gallery appeared.  Perhaps in deference to Crowley's wishes, or simply so that she could reuse them at a later exhibition, she appears to have clipped most copies of the catalogue: they are seldom seen 'unclipped.'   It begins with a two-page introduction, 'The Tarot (Book of Thoth)' which is followed by a brief description of the main attributes of each of the 78 cards. The text is unsigned, but was apparently written up from notes provided by Crowley. The booklet is from the estate of Edward Bryant (1920-1998), a friend and student of Crowley's who had a life-long interest in the occult, and played an important part in the publication of 'The Book of Thoth', as well as in the composition of the 'letters' which would form the book later published as 'Magick Without Tears.'  Title page clipped (as noted). A few light bumps and creased to covers, very faint spots.  Otherwise sound, unmarked -  VG condition

		Softcover, 8vo. iv + 166pp.  This copy SIGNED by the author.  New book, Fine condition.  A fascinating study by J. Edward (Jerry) Cornelius,  well known for his work as publisher and editor of the excellent Thelemic journal Red Flame.  Whilst the text does deal with the history of the Ouija board and Crowley's until-now little known involvement with it, the main focus of the book is the practical use of the board in ceremonial magic.  The author argues that the board is no toy, but, when skillfully used, a powerful magical implement, and much of the work is devoted to outlining the ways and means for  using it.

		Softcovers. Four sections. Quartos. Each in original printed wrappers. xxxii + 122pp.; &#91;82pp.]; &#91;94pp.]; &#91;132pp.]. Fore- & bottom-edges untrimmed. Color plate in Section 1. Tables, diagrams, etc. etc.  This 4 Part, paper-wrappered set is the true first issue of Crowley's magnum opus, "Magick in Theory and Practice" (also known as Book 4, Part III), and includes the color plate which was omitted from the later hardbound edition. Apparently Crowley was not satisfied with some features of this edition, and had the great majority of copies disbound and rebound in cloth, thereby creating the so-named "Subscriber's Edition." At the same time he had the color plate removed, supposedly because he was not happy with the quality of the reproduction.  Hailed by Crowley as "the first complete treatise on Magick to be published", "Magick" (or Book 4) is commonly regarded as his Magnum Opus. The top wrapper of the first part is missing a short, matchstick width chip from the front edge, and all parts show a little chipping to the head and tail of the spine and a little light grime to the wrappers, but this is still a VG or better set of a scarce and fragile edition, in much better shape than is usually encountered.

From the collection of Edward Noel FitzGerald (1908-1958), Frater Agape, a IX degree member of the O.T.O., and friend and follower of Aleister Crowley's.  FitzGerald first met Crowley in 1936 and remained in contact with him until his death in 1947.  From then until his own death in 1958 was part of that small group, including John Symonds, Charles Richard Cammell, Gerald Yorke, Frieda Harris, J. F. C.

		Hardcover. Large 8vo. (9 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches, approx 23.5 x 16cm), xii + 148pp. Blue cloth with gilt titling to spine. Dustjacket. b&w frontispiece. Index. Edition limited to 666 numbered copies. The Progradior Correspondence comprises the text of ninety letters and other documents that were exchanged between “Frater Progradior”, Aleister Crowley’s Lancashire-born follower, Frank Bennett, and members of “the Beast’s” inner circle, including Crowley himself, Charles Stansfeld Jones, Leilah Waddell, Leah Hirsig and others. The correspondence began in 1910 when Bennett wrote to Crowley seeking his advice on the performance of “The Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin the Mage.” It continued through the years of The Equinox, through Crowley’s residence in the United States during the First World War, and on past the heydays of the Abbey of Thelema at Cefalu in the early 1920s. The exchange finally drew to a close in 1926, by which time Crowley had dropped or otherwise lost contact with most of his associates of the preceding decade and a half. A third of the letters were written by Aleister Crowley. Like the rest of the correspondence, these focus largely on the efforts that he and his followers were making to promote his occult fraternities, the A.'. A.'. and the O.T.O. As such they offer valuable first-hand accounts of the development of Crowley’s creed of Thelema during this important period. The letters are highly revealing on a personal level as well, and provide considerable insight into Crowley’s character and the influence that he had on the people around him. In broader terms they give a fascinating impression of the lives and activities of all those involved. The Progradior Correspondence is edited by Frank Bennett’s biographer, Keith Richmond, who has also contributed a short Introduction and added footnotes to elucidate some of the more obscure names, words and passages in the letters.

		Hardcover . Large 8vo. xxxvi+ 522 pp. Original blue cloth with gilt title, etc. to spine, 4 full-page illustrations. Crowley had originally intended to entitle this book 'Aleister Explains Everything' - it is in essence his personal commentary on his own magical work and training - in the form of 80 letters addressed to students. It is without doubt one of his most straightforward, and lucid expositions of Magick. It was first published by Crowley's follower, Karl Germer, in an edition that almost certainly did not exceed 100 copies. This new edition includes Germer's original foreword, and a new Introduction by Israel Regardie, who also edited the text, removing some material he felt to be redundant. One light bump to lower edge of upper board, otherwise a lovely, bright Near fine copy in VG+ dust jacket.

		A single page handwritten receipt written on a sheet of pale blue O.T.O. notepaper (5" x 8") headed with the O.T.O. lamen (pyramid, dove and chalice) printed in red. To the left of the lamen Crowley has written his address of the time: 93 Jermyn Street S.W.1, to its right the date, Jan. 4, '44 e.v. Below this Crowley has written five lines, acknowledging the receipt - on behalf of the Grand Treasurer of the O.T.O. - twenty-six pounds five shillings, in payment for 'Letters XIII - XXV.' Crowley has affixed a postage stamp to the bottom of the page, and has signed his name and the date across this, thereby making it an officially recognized document. The 'Mrs. A Macky' to whom it is made out was Anne Macky, Soror Fiat-Yod of the O.T.O. For a time she engaged in a lengthy correspondence with Crowley on magical matters, and it was his letters to her that formed the basis of the posthumously published book Magick Without Tears. The letters referred to in the document are presumably those that made up the correspondence. The inference, of course, is that she was paying Crowley for what was, in effect, a correspondence course of magical instruction, although there may be some other explanation. The document is in Very Good condition, with just a little light creasing.

		Approx. 20 words. Written on one side only on a sheet of cheap notepaper, approx. 61/2" x 4". Across the top of the page Crowley has written his address of the time: 'Bell' &#91;The Bell Inn, Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire] and the date '31st.' The month is not known, but presumably it was mid-late 1944, as it was in April of that year that Crowley moved from Jermyn Street, London, to escape renewed German bombing, and ended up staying at 'The Bell.' The note is addressed simply C.: F.: &#91;'Care Frater' - Latin for 'Dear Brother'] and begins and ends with the abbreviated Thelemic greetings ('93' etc.). It is a brief note in which Crowley asks if Bryant is free for lunch soon, and says that he is 'Anxiously awaiting yours re. Tarot, too!' The letter is signed 'Fraternally, 666.' The recipient of the letter was Edward Bryant (1920-1998), a long-time friend of Crowley's and O.T.O. member who played an important part in the organization of the Thoth tarot design exhibitions held in 1941, and later in the publication of 'The Book of Thoth.'The note is in Very Good condition, with just a little light creasing.

		Hardcover, 8vo. 316pp.  New book/Fine condition.  Clothbound, with full color dustwrapper, and black and white illustrations.  Bibliography and Index.  Progradior and the Beast recounts the story of Lancashire-born Frank Bennett (1868-1930), one of Aleister Crowley's more successful, if little-known followers.  Whilst still a youth Bennett embarked on a spiritual odyssey which eventually led him to the study of ceremonial magic, and into contact with Crowley.  Bennett, also known by his magical name, Frater Progradior, migrated to Australia in 1911 where he founded A .*. A.*. and O.T.O. groups, and sought to promote Crowley's law of Thelema.   In 1921 Bennett traveled to Crowley's Abbey of Thelema at Cefalu, where he rapidly became one of the Beast's star pupils.Progradior and the Beast is largely drawn from previously unpublished sources -  letters, journals, and other documents -  and provides rare insight into the private and public worlds of these two twentieth century magicians.  It is illustrated with a number of previously unseen pictures of Crowley and Bennett, and the dustwrapper and endpapers include striking colour reproductions of two paintings by Crowley: one a portrait of Frank Bennett, and the other a Cefalu landscape.  The book is uniform in format with its companion volume: 'The Magical Record of Frater Progradior.'

This copy was formerly in a circulating library, and has it's blind stamps to a number of pages, remains of bookplate and slips on front and rear pastedowns, and discolored patches on the boards where labels were probably removed.

Signed by Keith Richmond on the title page. In February 1930 Crowley was invited to give a lecture to the Oxford University Poetry Society on the notorious medieval French occultist and mass-murderer Gilles de Rais. However the lecture was cancelled at the last moment after pressure was brought to bear by the University's Catholic Chaplain, Father Ronald Knox. Crowley retaliated by having his friend and publisher P. R. Stephensen quickly print copies of the lecture in booklet form, which were then sold on the streets of Oxford, thereby reaching a far greater audience than his original lecture would ever have attracted. 'The Forbidden Lecture' contains the complete text of 'The Banned Lecture' (including previously unpublished revision from an annotated copy formerly in the possession of P. R. Stephensen), as well as a previously unpublished essay by Crowley 'How I came to be banned at Oxford' and an historical introduction by Keith Richmond. Fine condition in very lightly rubbed Near fine dustjacket.

		Softcover. Small 8vo. 80pp. A reprint of the third issue of a book which probably stands as Crowley's most famous practical joke.  In 1908 Crowley anonymously submitted the text of this book of devotional verse to the well-known Catholic publishers Burnes and Oates   Somehow the publishers managed to overlook the dubious theology and strong lesbian undertones and published the book under the title Amphora.  At around the the same time Crowley published his own private edition with an obscene epilogue.  Somehow Burnes and Oates found out who the author was, and apparently withdrew the edition after only a small number of copies have been bound, giving (or perhaps selling) the unsold sheets to Crowley.  Crowley had a new title page printed, and reissued the book as 'Hail Mary' under his Equinox imprint.  This volume is a modern reprint of that 'Equinox' edition.  Textured white wrappers. Black titling to spine and upper cover. Publisher's advert. loosely inserted. Very light rubbing and a few very faint spots to covers, otherwise a tight, unmarked VG+ copy.

	<![CDATA[ 
		Hardcover. Large 8vo. 398 pp plus adverts. Original printed papered boards, with fabric spine with paper title label. Illustration "The Signs Of The Grades."  Crowley was the editor and principal author of most of the volumes of The Equinox, which contained a variety of poetry, fiction, and reviews - generally with esoteric themes - alongside a number of articles of occult instruction. This copy is one of the 'Standard Editions' of Vol. I, No. II of The Equinox (there was also an 'Edition de Luxe' of 50 buckram-bound copies for subcribers, most of whom were A.: A.: members).  Aside from its Thelemic content, Vol. I, No. II  was particularly important as it included the first ever publication of Golden Dawn rituals, with those of the Outer Order being included in the installment of Crowley's magical autobiography, "The Temple of Solomon the King, Book II."   The publication of these, and Crowley's declaration that he intended to publish further Golden Dawn rituals including the pivotal "Ritual of the 5 = 6 Adeptus Minor" in the forthcoming continuation of "The Temple of Solomon the King, Book II," in the Equinox Vol. I, No. III, outraged S. L. MacGregor-Mathers, Crowley's erstwhile mentor in the Golden Dawn. Mathers took Crowley to court to prevent the publication of  Vol. I, No. III, but only succeed in gaining a temporary stay, ultimately losing the case.  The courtroom drama is rightly famous for its many farcical and often hilarious moments, and also - by Crowley's account - for first bringing him into contact with Theodor Reuss, then head of O.T.O., an Order which Crowley himself would eventually take over and lead.  The contents of this volume also include: Liber O, The Herb Dangerous - (Part II) The Psychology Of Hashish, The Garden Of Janus (a work dedicated to Austin Osman Spare), The Dream Circean, A Note On Genesis, The Opium-Smoker, Postcards To Probationers, The Wild Ass, The Priestess Of Panormita,  The Lost Shepherd by Victor B. Neuburg, The Man-Cover by George Raffalovich,  The Sphinx At Gizeh by Lord Dunsany, etc. etc.. The thin fabric spine on the First Trade Editions of The Equinox was notoriously fragile, and is often damaged or missing altogether. In this case the volume has been given a new cloth spine which almost exactly matches the original, onto which has been mounted the remains (about 50%) of the original paper title label. The boards are quite chipped at corners and edges with some marks but are generally complete and sound. The pages are uniformly toned, but not brittle, and internally it is VG or better, and has the advantage that unlike many with the original backstrip it can be safely opened and read without fear of damaging the spine.

	<![CDATA[ 
		Hardcover.  First Edition - 'Edition de Luxe' - bound in original white buckram.  Lge. 8vo., pp. xii + 332 + 76 + iv. Ills.  A  rare cloth bound 'Edition de Luxe', of The Equinox series.  Only 50 copies of the  'Edition de Luxe'  were produced for sale to subscribers, most of whom were members of Crowley's A.: A.: . The 'Edition de Luxe' was much more durable than the 'standard' series, which comprised 1000 copies, and was bound in notoriously fragile cloth backed paper-covered boards.  The 'Edition de Luxe' is also the true First Edition (first issue thus) of The Equinox series, as its numbers were distributed in advance of the 'Standard' volumes.  This Number (III) is of particular significance, as it exhibits an earlier (different) state of the text, to that of the 'Standard Issue' - which relates to Crowley's publication of the rituals of the Golden Dawn.   Crowley had included the previously unpublished Outer Order rituals of the Golden Dawn in an installment of his magical autobiography, "The Temple of Solomon the King, Book II," in the Equinox Vol. I, No. II, and at the same time declared his intention to publish further Golden Dawn rituals, including the pivotal "Ritual of the 5 = 6 Adeptus Minor" in the continuation of "The Temple of Solomon the King, Book II," in the Equinox Vol. I. No. III.  Not surprisingly Crowley's erstwhile mentor in the Golden Dawn, S. L. MacGregor-Mathers, was outraged by this betrayal of trust, and obtained an order restraining Crowley from releasing the newly printed third number in anticipation of another legal action in which he hoped to halt publication permanenty. The copies of  the  'Edition de Luxe'  had already been sent out to subscribers when the order not to publish came through.  These included an editorial in which - aside from normal business - Crowley made the outrageous claim that  "the gang of soi-disant Rosicrucian swindlers &#91;obviously a derogatory reference to Mathers and those in the Golden Dawn who remained loyal to him] whose profits have suffered through our exposures, having failed to frighten Mr. Aleister Crowley, decided to assassinate him," and went on to tell of a misdirected attack on one Aloysius Crowley, which he ascribed to them!  When shortly afterwards Crowley had the order restraining publication dissolved by the Court of Appeal, he released the 'Standard' edition, though in the meantime he had rewritten the text of the Editorial so that it now included a short paragraph about Mathers' action and the consequent delay in the release of the issue.  Interestingly he also revised the paragraph about the alleged assault on Aloysius Crowley, removing the reference to "soi-disant Rosicrucian swindlers," perhaps reasoning that the identity of those he accused would be obvious to all as a result of the recent court case,  and  that he would therefore be leaving himself open to accusations of libel unless he could justify his claims.  The original editorial leaf was removed from the 'Standards' and this new one tipped into its place, and thus the 'Edition de Luxe' of  Number III is the true 'First Issue' containing as it does  the original editorial text. The 'Edition de Luxe'  also has an additional colour frontispiece at the front of each volume (which repeats 'The Equinox' coat of arms design used on the top board of the 'Standard' issue), and is of slightly larger format the 'Standard' issue as the page edges are not trimmed.  Needless to say, both issues included the "Ritual of the 5 = 6 Adeptus Minor" and a substantial amount of other Golden Dawn material in the continuation of "The Temple of Solomon the King, Book II."  They also include "Liber XIII", "AHA!", "The Herb Dangerous" (part III), "An Origin" by Victor Neuburg, "The Soul-Hunter", "Madelaine" by Arthur F. Grimble, "The Coming of Apollo" by Victor Neuburg, "The Brighton Mystery" by George Raffalovich, "The Shadowy Dill-waters" by A. Quiller, Jr. a 76 page supplement "The Treasure House of Images," and a number of plates, including the now-famous bright crimson collotype portrait of Crowley, "The Student," which shows a robed Crowley seated, with his hands in the gesture of the "horns of Horus" and his elbows resting on a table, on which stands a large book (thought to house his Abra-Melin talismans) and a Rose-cross lamen.The corners are lightly bumped, the spine is darkened, and the boards, are, as always, a little grubby, but  the binding is still solid and tight.  There is some browning to the endpapers, and some occasional light foxing.  Several leaves - including that with the portrait of Crowley, 'The Student' - have a finger-sized patch of discoloration running vertically up the inner margin at the top and bottom of the page (not affecting the text or the plate itself),  otherwise the volume is clean, fresh and in V.G. condition. No dustjacket (none issued).

		Softcover. 8vo. 54pp. text plus 38pp reproducing wood engraved plates of alchemical symbolism.Gold wrappers with printed black design.  Illustrations by Frederick Carter. The Dragon of the Alchemists was originally published in a limited edition in 1926. The author / artist Frederick Carter was a friend and co-editor of Form Magazine with Austin Osman Spare, and in his own right an interesting alchemist of the spirit. The Dragon of the Alchemists comprises an essay and thirty-eight drawings, some of which are indeed strongly reminiscent of Spare, whilst others are more conventional in their mystical allegory. Carter went so far as to sign a preliminary pledge form for the O.T.O., but apparently did not follow through with it.  Hint of rubbing to the wrappers, creasing to spine edges, otherwise a clean Near fine copy.

		Hardcover. 8vo. 200 pages. Mustard-color cloth with black titling to spine, printed on library-quality paper, with an 8 page black and white photographic insert and an index. Edition Limited to 418 copies. Color dust jacket design by Gavin O'Keefe. Solar Lodge is arguably one of the most interesting and controversial of the many occult groups that sprung up in 1960s America. It was founded by a student of one of the original initiates of Agape Lodge of the O.T.O. and taught a system of magick closely based on that of Aleister Crowley. The author, Frater Shiva, joined Solar Lodge at its inception and rose to a senior position in its ranks before finally leaving at the time of its implosion in 1972. 'Inside Solar Lodge - Outside the Law' is his reminiscence of life within that group: who they were, how they came together, and what they did and why. As such it gives a rare glimpse into the lives, aspirations and practices of this group of twentieth century magicians, viewed not through the eyes of an historian or sociologist, but from one who was there and a part of it. It also offers a detailed 'insider' account of the theft of the library of O.T.O. leader Karl Germer, the 'boy in the box' incident, and the alleged connection between the Solar Lodge and the Manson group: all events that have become part of the folklore of American occultism. Now out of print. Unused, thus Fine condition in very lightly rubbed Near fine dust jacket.

	A 13 page carbon typescript of the text of a manuscript Crowley diary that was once in the possession of Tom Driberg, MP. The typescript was apparently made by Crowley-associate Gerald Yorke in March 1948. It has a brief manuscript correction by Yorke on - Aleister Crowley.

	<![CDATA[ 
		On thirteen sheets of buff 8 x 13 inch typing paper, secured together in the left margin with a staple. The typescript was prepared or commissioned by Gerald Yorke (1901-1983) a friend and former disciple of Crowley's. Following Crowley's death Yorke, Karl Germer, Edward Noel FitzGerald and a few others realized that many important works by or relating to Crowley existed only in a single manuscript or typescript, and that if they did not move quickly to track down and copy those, they could be lost forever. In this case it was a diary in the possession of MP and journalist Tom Driberg. Driberg - who allowed Yorke to copy it - described his acquisition of the diary in his book "Ruling Passions" (1977): "Some years after I had left Oxford ... a man named Cosmo got in touch with me and said that he had acquired from the landlady of his room in North London a trunk once left there by Crowley ... In this trunk he had found some letters from me to Crowley: did I want them. ... He also let me have something much more interesting - a small square volume, bound in red morocco and encased in baroque silver ...&#91;which] contained Crowley's manuscript diary, recording his daily magical and sexual doings for the period covering Loveday's death at Cefalu and Mussolini's subsequent expulsion of Crowley from Italy ..... It also contained a number of pages bearing what may be called oaths of allegiance, signed in Crowley's presence by various devotees." The diary itself is an extremely important Cefalu-period document and - as far as we are aware - has not yet been formally published. Although (typically) not strictly sequential, it seems to largely record events during the years 1921 - 1922 (Driberg is incorrect in that though it mentions Loveday's acceptance as a Probationer of the A.'. A.'. and subsequent death, the diary ends well before Crowley's expulsion. It is a fascinating and important document, containing detailed and explicit accounts of Crowley's sex magick practices, arrivals and departures at the Abbey, Crowley's travels during the period, etc. etc. As detailed above, the original was acquired by the colorful and controversial British MP and journalist Tom Driberg (1905 – 1976) - whose penchant for male prostitutes and other debauch so often led him to the brink of public scandal, that Winston Churchill is said to commented of him that: "Tom Driberg is the sort of person who gives sodomy a bad name." Not surprisingly he was acquainted with Crowley. Some months after Crowley's death, Driberg was approached by Crowley's one-time follower and long-time friend, Gerald Yorke, who persuaded Driberg to allow him to make a typescript of the diary. This is the carbon copy of that typescript. A few years later Yorke then gave this copy to John Symonds, who made use of it in writing his biography of Crowley, "The Great Beast." In the process Symonds underlined a number of passages in pencil and ink, and sometimes circled names and dates in ink - presumably those that he intended to research further or refer to. Included with the typescript is a First Edition Hardcover copy of Tom Driberg's autobiography "Ruling Passions" (1977), the book in which he refers to the manuscript diary from which this typescript was made (see pages 85-86). The book has a previous owner's inscription and the spine of the dustjacket is sunned, otherwise it is VG in VG dustjacket. The typescript is a little yellowed, and has a few small chips and tears around the margins, but is still VG.

		Hardcover, Large Quarto (11 ¾ x 9") Original cloth (buckram) with title and sigil gilt stamped on upper board, 84pp (+ 4pp. adverts.) Edges untrimmed. Erratum tipped in at p. 84. Portrait frontispiece with original tissue guard.  1 diagram (Tree of Life). The book is widely regarded as one of Crowley's best works, and as one of the wittiest and most insightful studies of the subject ever written by a Westerner. Although Crowley gave the work a number in his Equinox series (Volume III., Number Four) it was effectively an independent monograph, and is complete in itself. This is the first English edition, which was bound in a fine cloth (buckram) with the gilt stamped A.'. A.'. seal on the front cover approx. two and a quarter inches in diameter. Two corners are lightly bumped, and there is a little bubbling to the cloth on the back cover where the sizing didn't take properly (obviously it has been like this from new). Otherwise the book is in near-fine condition, the binding is solid and unfaded, and internally it is tight clean and fresh and not yellowed, as is often the case. The book is complete with its fragile and rarely-seen dustjacket which features a sepia photograph of Crowley in a yoga pose, against a white background.  the white panels are largely unmarked, and it has just a few small closed chips and tears around the edges.  The white areas of the jacket have a few small marks, and some general darkening, strongest at fold and edges. It is still in unusually good condition - in fact one of the cleanest examples that we have seen - and genuinely scarce thus.

		Hardcover. Folio. x + 68 pp. Original gilt-stamped white buckram boards with recent gilt-stamped textured leather (?) spine. Color lithograph of reclining female nude executed by Clot after a pencil and wash design by Auguste Rodin as frontis. Edition limited to 488 copies on handmade paper (there were also 10 copies on China paper and 2 on vellum). Crowley's poetic interpretation of a number of Rodin's artworks, alongside lithographic reproductions of seven sketches with water-colours of female nudes which Rodin presented to him during a visit in 1903. The book is actually far scarcer than it's limitation implies: apparently much of the stock was stored in a warehouse that flooded, and were destroyed or damaged, although Crowley salvaged what he could. Surviving copies – as this – often show a light damp discoloration to the margins of the plates. As this is not evident in the rest of the volume, it suggests that the books were still unbound at the time of the flood, and that it was the pile of plates that suffered worst. The volume has been rebacked, with a gilt stamped texture black spine.  The white boards have the usual (predictable) discoloration, and a few light bumps to the corners. Light shadowing onto title page from the frontispiece, and to the other pages facing plates as always with this book. Endpapers darkened. Plates a little discolored as noted, otherwise internals unusually bright and clean. Overall a VG copy of a genuinely scarce work.

		Softcovers. Octavo, (vi) 18 (ii) 20 (ii) 20 (ii) 24 (ii) 24pp., Machine made paper. Dark green camel hair wrappers with title in red on upper wrapper, and "Jason . Argo . Medea . Sirenae . Ares" lettered up spine. Though much favoured by Crowley, the "camel hair" binding material was not at all durable. According to Duncombe-Jewell only 202 copies were printed: 2 on Roman vellum, and 200 thus, on machine made paper. A play in five parts - each act of which is "a separate play on the Greek model, separately paginated." The play was to have been published by Kegan Paul, but when Crowley discovered how poor the sales of his earlier works had been, he decided to published and distribute his works himself under the S.P.R.T. (Society for the Propagation of Religious Truth) imprint (the name being a none-too-subtle jest at the expense of the well known Christian publishing house the S.P.C.K. - Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge). The Argonauts was thus the first book to be published under this new imprint. The "camel hair" material is notoriously fragile - and surviving copies have often either lost their spine or wrappers, or both. In this case the spine, and its lettering, are 98% intact (it's missing just a thin sliver from the foot) and appears to have been laid down. The original wrappers have been reattached at the hinges. The book comes with a set of custom-made modern blue cloth wrap-around boards with gilt titling to the spine and front cover, into which it can be inserted, giving it a protective outer cover. A genuinely scarce work - it had a tiny printing and the already small number of copies in circulation have arguably been greatly reduced by its far from sturdy binding. Internally clean and tight.

Although Crowley's name does not appear in the book, it is actually a pirated version of his edition of the famous grimoire of talismanic magic, the Lemegeton of Solomon. Crowley first published the book at Boleskine in 1904, under the title 'The Book of the Goetia of Solomon the King' in an edition of only 200 copies using translations which had been prepared by S. L. MacGregor Mathers, his former mentor in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. De Laurence effectively stole it and published it under his own name. De Laurence - who classically exhibited the thieve's paranoia of being robbed himself - copyrighted the book in 1916, but was lax in listing his reprints. Thus all have the date 1916, even though, like this copy, many were probably published quite some time thereafter. Several light spots to cloth on rear board, light bumping and chafing to spine ends and corners, UK bookshop sticker inside rear cover. Otherwise a tight, clean, unmarked VG+ copy.

	<![CDATA[ 
		Hardcover. 4to. ii + 84pp. Original brown gilt titling to spine and upper board. A group of previously uncollected writings by poet and critic Francis Thompson (1859 – 1907).  Thompson had studied at medical school but abandoned it to become a writer - in the process acquiring an addiction to opium, and living for years as a vagrant.  He eventually rehabilitated himself - though with damaged health - and in addition to publishing a few books of his own poetry, wrote a number of reviews for the literary journal "The Academy."  These are collected here for the first time, and include a  review of Crowley's "The Soul of Osiris" (under the heading Minor Poets - Crowley would have been appalled!) and a slightly later review of Crowley's "The Mother's Tragedy" (under the heading Above Average). Light rubbing to edges, spine ends bruised with 1/4" closed tear to upper spine, paper a little darkened at edges. Still, overall an unmarked VG copy. (no dust jacket if called for).

Still, it was a ground breaking edition in terms of making these Holy Books available to a broader public - for many years it was the only relatively easy way to access the texts.

There is some uncertainty as to whether the original 1909 Edition of this book was  ever actually issued - if so then all copies of it must (as one story goes) have been amongst a shipment of Crowley books that were destroyed by British Customs ('Alexandra' apparently, on account of disrepectful references to the British Royal Family). Only two proof copies are known to have survived, and the text of one of these - that held in the Yorke collection - provided the basis for this edition. Fine in Fine dustjacket.

They were originally published in a various Asian journals, as well as the series Man, Myth and Magic.

		Hardcover. 8vo. xii + 178pp. Original red cloth with gilt titling to black spine label, colored top edge. A book of reminisences by &#91;William] Collin Brooks (1893 - 1959).  Brooks was a journalist, broadcaster and prolific author. Brooks met Crowley through their mutual friend Louis Wilkinson in 1942. At the time Brooks was Chairman and Editor of the magazine Truth, and perhaps he and Crowley each scented that the other might be of some use to himself. The two saw one another quite regularly, and seem to have genuinely enjoyed each other's company - there are numerous references to Brooks in Crowley's diaries and Weiser Antiquarian Books recently sold a natal chart Crowley had drawn up for Brooks, that included the comment that  a combination of alignments makes 'makes him untrustworthy.' For his part, Brooks - who left a two page reminisence of Crowley in this work - ultimately decided that Crowley was a 'charlatan', but admired his literary skills. Cloth lightly chafed at all edges and extremities, boards very slightly bowed, paper a little browned. Overall a clean VG copy.

		Hardcover in custom slipcase. 8vo.  xviii + 182 pp. Red cloth with gilt embossed title to cover, printed paper spine label, fine wove paper, matching red cloth slipcase.  Edition limited to 500 hand numbered copies.  A facsimile reprint of this collection of Neuburg's early poetry, that was first published by Aleister Crowley under his "Equinox" imprint in 1910, at a time when Neuburg was still one of Crowley's main followers.   The poetry is steeped in magic and pagan imagery, and a large number of the poems are dedicated to Crowley and his associates: Norman Mudd, J. F. C. Fuller, Leila Waddell etc. Book unused, thus a bright and clean Fine copy in near Fine slipcase (upper panel a little rubbed).
