The Diary of a Drug Fiend and other Works by Aleister Crowley.
London: Sirius, 2018. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Large octavo. Not paginated [ Approximately 950pp ]. Illustrated papered boards, gold endpapers. The first edition of this rather oddly chosen selection of works by Crowley which comprises his novels "Diary of a Drug Fiend" and "Moonchild"; his verse play "Household God"s; "The Book of Lies" and "The Book of the Law;" and "White Stains". From the collection of Clive Harper with his discrete book-label neatly tipped in at the rear. Harper is well-known as the bibliographer of Austin Osman Spare, for updating the Aleister Crowley bibliography in the 2011 Teitan Press collection of Gerald Yorke's writings, and as someone who has lent his expertise to numerous other publications. The label can easily be removed without affecting the page, although it would be a shame not to preserve this record of the book's provenance. Very light bruising to spine ends, else a tight & unmarked new Fine copy in near Fine dust jacket (Very light rubbing and ceasd at edges, not clipped. Now in protective mylar cover.). Item #64839
