The Confessions of Aleister Crowley. An Autohagiography.

London: Arkana, 1989. Revised Second Edition. Softcover. Large Octavo. 960pp. Large, thick paperback, b&w illustrations, editor's notes, index. Crowley had originally intended that his "Confessions" would be published in six volumes, but only two of these had been published before the Great Depression and various internal disputes led to the demise of the publishers. The project languished uncompleted throughout Crowley's lifetime, and it was not until 1969 that the somewhat abridged version of the full six volumes was published in a single volume edition, edited by John Symonds and Kenneth Grant. This is the paperback version of the (revised and corrected) second edition of that publication. It remains the major biographical source on Crowley, and essential to an understanding of his life and magick. Covers rubbed and creased, edges chafed, paper browned (as common), vertical creasing to spine. Still a solid, unmarked Good copy. Item #61643
