The Books of the Beast. Essays on Aleister Crowley, Montague Summers, Francis Barrett and others.

London: Crucible, 1987. First Edition. Softcover. Large octavo. 128pp. B&w illustrations and frontis. Notes and index. The first edition of this delightful collection of bibliographically orientated essays. The book is worth having for the essay on Crowley alone, but each of the others is similarly entertaining and instructive, and the author's little autobiographical Epilogue an absolute treasure. Some light creasing and chafing to edges, small tear at bottom edge of rear wrapper, covers lightly rubbed, small snag with spot of white paint(?) on front wrapper, a few small scrapes to page edges, otherwise a tight, unmarked VG copy.
