A treasure trove of news, advertisements etc on the occult scene in Britain (and to a lesser extent abroad) between 1988 and 1992. Much on the "Satanic Panic" (the bogus occult child-abuse scandal) that took place during the time) and much other news including an account of the police raid on the O.T.O. in Berkeley, California in September 1989. Includes an interview with Gerald Suster, articles by Phil Hine, Michael Howard, Steve Wilson, Stephen Mace and others. The advertisements, reviews, etc. are a wonderful source of information on occult publishing activities at the time. From the library of English bibliophile and Aleister Crowley scholar Nicholas Bishop-Culpeper. Cheap production values. A little light wear and creasing, but over all VG+ condition. Item #59545
