The Star in the West. A Critical Essay Upon the Works of Aleister Crowley.
London: Neptune Press, 1976. Limited facsimile edition. Hardcover. Octavo. 328pp. Red cloth with white-stamped title on spine and title and elaborate design on front cover. Edition limited to 500 numbered copies. Fuller, who went on to become one of Crowley's leading disciples, originally wrote this as an entry in a competition Crowley held for the best essay on his own literary work. Fuller's essay won (it is rumoured to have been the only entry) and - surely somewhat surprisingly - he was duly paid the hundred pound prize that Crowley had offered. With Crowley's assistance Fuller rewrote the essay, and Crowley published it in 1907. This is a facsimile of that edition. Cloth lightly rubbed & darkened - and has a few faints marks, faintly musty, else a tight, clean VG+. (No dust jacket as issued). Item #70181
