Snowdrops from a Curate's Garden.
Chicago IL: The Teitan Press, Inc., 1986. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Octavo. xxiv + 198 pp. White cloth with gilt title, etc. to spine, gilt facsimile signature on front cover, frontis. This edition with an insightful Prolegmenon by Martin P. Starr. Crowley's most infamous pornographic work. It was apparently written by Crowley with the intention of penning the most ridiculously extreme sexual fantasy ever produced - for the edification of his wife Rose. Most copies of the first edition (circa 1904) were destroyed by British Customs. Merest hint of shelf-wear, top edge of text block dusty and quite flecked, otherwise a nice, clean copy - indeed it appears unused. Thus a tight near Fine copy in Fine dust jacket (Dust jacket appears to have been protected by a removable mylar cover since new, thus free of any flaws). Item #71925
