Atlantis. Liber LI. The Lost Continent.

Malton, Ontario, Canada: Dove Press, 1970. First edition. Hardcover. Octavo. x + 70pp. Original dark pink cloth with gilt title, etc. to spine. Referred to by Kenneth Anger who authored the very brief Foreword as a "sexual-magical treasure." Crowley's Atlantis is said to be "An account of the continent of Atlantis: the manners and customs, magical rites and opinions of its people, together with a true account of the catastrophe, so called, which ended in its disappearance" although in other writings Crowley allowed that there was more than a hint of satire in some parts of the work, whilst others were thinly-veiled metaphor. Errata slip loosely inserted. Corner of boards lightly bruised, small binder's glue spot to rear cover, merest hint of toning to endpapers and page edges, very small bookshop label on front pastedown. Else a tight, unmarked VG+ copy in VG dust jacket (Dust jacket panels a little darkened and with a few light scratches, a few tiny tears at edges, not clipped, now protected by a removable mylar sleeve).
