The Book Collector. August 2008, No. 297. Includes a 10 page piece: "Aleister Crowley" by Rosalie Parker.
London: The Book Collector, 2008. First Edition. Softcover. Octavo. 162pp. colour and b&w illustrations. Amongst the contributions to this issue are a 10-page colour illustrated piece by Rosalie Parker, entitled: "Aleister Crowley" which includes a 4-page bibliography of Crowley first editions with price guide. Unfortunately the latter is rather wildly inaccurate - even at the time of publication - with some excruciatingly rare and valuable works assigned the same price range as relatively common pieces. Still interesting biblio-porn for the aficianado. This issue also includes a 10-page article on the life and work of author Stephen King by Jonathan Scott, adverts, etc. This is one of several copies that were previously in the collection of Clive Harper, each has 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. "As new", thus Fine condition. Item #66115
