A revised edition of this reference book published in Hastings, England to acknowledge its literary associations - and which includes a paragraph on Aleister Crowley in light of his residence at "Netherwood" the last few years of his life. The author indicates that "Crowley's brief connection to Hastings adds spice" to his survey and thus Crowley is also mentioned on the cover along with notables, such as: Lord Byron, Lewis Carroll, Rider Haggard and John Keats.
