Roll Away The Stone: An Introduction to Aleister Crowley's essays on the Psychology of Hashish ( With complete text of The Herb Dangerous by Aleister Crowley ).
St. Paul, MN: Llewellyn Publications, 1974. Second Printing. Softcover. Octavo. 242pp. Printed paper covers. SIGNED on the title-page by the editor, and Crowley's former secretary, Israel Regardie. The volume comprises the texts of Crowley's "The Psychology of Hashish," his translation of Baudelaire's prose-poem "The Poem of Hashish," and two other essays, along with a lengthy (63 page) Introductory essay by Israel Regardie. 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. Covers very slightly rubbed, pages edges very lightly thumbed - otherwise a tight, clean near Fine copy. Item #64848
