The Devil's Paintbrush.
London: Sceptre, 2009. Uncorrected Proof Copy. Softcover. Octavo 298pp. Gold wrappers illustrated and lettered wrappers. An Uncorrected Proof Copy of this novel with a Crowley based character. From the publisher: "Major-General Sir Hector Macdonald, one of the greatest heroes of the British Empire, is facing ruin in a shocking homosexual scandal when he meets the notorious occultist Aleister Crowley. As the story of Macdonald's tragedy begins to unfold it produces startling revelations for both men." This copy 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. Very light rubbing to covers, pages a bit toned but otherwise a tight, clean VG+ copy. Item #66185
