CROWLEY, Aleister.

The Book of the Law [technically called Liber AL vel Legis sub Figura CCXX as delivered by XCIII=418 to DCLXVI].

Indiana / Maine: [ 666Books ] / Weiser, ND [ 2003 ]. Private Edition. Hardcover. Small octavo (6 7/16 x 4.7/8 inches) (ii) 50 + (68) pp (+viii blanks). Full burgundy coloured textured leatherette with gilt lettering to upper board and spine, marbled endpapers and ribbon marker. A small private edition of "The Book of the Law" produced by Brad G. of 666Books in 2003 in very limited number. The actual body of the book is a 2002 printing of the "Weiser" edition of "The Book of the Law", which has then been very neatly rebound in full leatherette. While there is no stated limitation it seems that very few of these were produced. There were three variants in the binding colour: red, burgundy and black. As noted, this copy is in the burgundy coloured binding. 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. A bright copy in Fine condition. A lovely and unusual copy of "The Book of the Law." Item #64845
