Stellar Visions Source Book 93.
Berkeley, CA: Stellar Visions, 1981. First Edition. Softcover. Octavo. 42pp. Blue stapled wrappers, with original blue cloth-tape spine. Endsheets colored (lightly) with watercolors. There were several different printings of the Source Book, but this is the stated first edition, hand-numbered (24), dated (4-25-81),and SIGNED (Fra. 137) by Ebony Anpu on the limitation leaf at rear. "Source book 93 is organized as a reference to the Teachings of the O.T.O. and the Official Publications of the A.'. A.'. .... It is largely comprised of various lists of works by Crowley, some accompanied by a brief synopsis. Still a useful tool. The booklet was part of the massive effort by Ebony Anpu and others to systematize and publish Crowley texts in the early 1980s when few were available in print. The booklets were advertised at the time as having "beautiful hand colored endpapers" which seems a little overstated, and irrespective of one's thoughts on these the other production values are rather basic. From the collection of Clive Harper with his discreet 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. Light rubbing to covers, page edges browned with a few spots of foxing to edges and margins. Still, overall a tight clean VG+ copy of the uncommon first edition. Item #65736
