Perdurabo Outtakes. The Blue Equinox Journal, Issue 1 (Summer 2005 e.v.).
Royal Oak, MI: Blue Equinox Oasis, OTO, 2005. First Edition. Softcover. Octavo. 264pp. Illustrated covers. Appendixes. This copy INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the title page. Comprises three extensive groups of source material that were not included in either edition of the author's biography of Aleister Crowley, "Perdurabo" (although they are of course quoted from and referenced). They cover the "Looking Glass trial" of 1911 and Crowley's liable case against Constable in 1934, and the subsequent action against Crowley over "the stolen letters." Includes lengthy trial transcripts, the text of Crowley's "The Rosicrucian Scandal," and transcriptions of a large number of related newspaper clippings. All in all a valuable collection of source documentation, much of which is not readily available elsewhere. Although not stated as such, only 250 copies were printed. Light shelf rubbing otherwise a tight, bright near Fine copy. Item #63732
