Item #67096 The Holy Books. Aleister CROWLEY, Israel Regardie.

The Holy Books.

Dallas, TX: Sangreal Foundation, Inc., 1972. Second Sangreal Printing. Hardcover. Octavo. 116pp. White boards with gilt title, etc. to spine and front cover. The second printing of the Sangreal edition (first published in 1969) which included a new introduction by Israel Regardie. As has often been observed, this edition could more accurately have been entitled 'Three Holy Books', as it contains only "Liber Liberi vel Lapidis Lazuli Sub Figura VII," "Liber Cordis Cincti Serpente Vel LXV," & "Liber DCCCXIII vel Ararita." Still, it was a ground breaking edition in terms of making these Holy Books available to a broader public - for many years it was the only relatively easy way to access the texts. 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. Just a hint of bruising to spine ends and corners, else a nearly perfect, bright near Fine copy in VG+ dust jacket (Light chafing to panels and edges, rear panel slightly darkened, small chips to upper corners, not clipped. Now protected in mylar cover). Item #67096
