The Weiser Concise Guide to Aleister Crowley.
Newburyport, MA: Weiser Books, 2009. First Edition. Softcover. Octavo. 128pp. Illustrated wrappers. Illustrated in black & white. Appendixes and bibliography. Cover photo of Aleister Crowley. INSCRIBED to Crowley scholar Martin P. Starr by Richard Kaczynski on the title page "to Martin with compliments from Jim and me. Richard Kaczynski". In addition to a biographical sketch by Richard Kaczynski, author of the biography "Perdurabo," this book offers a "carefully chosen series of his instructions for concentration, meditation, magick, invocation, even sex magick ... Crowley’s descriptions of the teaching Orders A.'. A.'. and OTO are presented, along with the Creed of EGC. In addition, a suggested reading list of Crowley’s “top-eleven” most important books is enhanced by an extensive bibliography for further in-depth research. This is the first and only introductory book that does not pretend to “improve” upon the Master’s writings, but attempts to showcase them into a coherent introduction to his spiritual system." From the collection of Martin P. Starr (essayist, author of "The Unknown God", editor of Crowley texts, co-founder of the Teitan Press, etc.) with one of his personalised "post it notes", with his name printed on it, loosely inserted for use as a book mark. Very light rubbing to covers, pages a bit toned - but still a tight clean VG+ copy. Item #68171
