Gems From The Equinox; Instructions by Aleister Crowley for his Own Magical Order
Phoenix, AZ: Falcon Press, 1986. Third Printing. Hardcover. Thick Octavo. 1134pp. Glossy black papered boards with gilt embossed & titled cover and spine. Illustrations. A hardcover reprint of Regardie's selection of Crowley's most important writings - 'all the magical writings' - from the monumental "Equinox" series. The book was originally published at a time when Crowley's magical writings were unavailable to most: when the "Gems" first came out the ten volume "Equinox" set had only been republished by Weiser for the first time two years earlier, and was difficult to find and beyond the budget of most. "Gems" along with the reprints of "Magick in Theory Practice," became one of the core resources for the emerging new generation of Thelemites in the 1970s. This is the preferred modern edition. Glossy covers rubbed & dulled with some scratches, spine ends and corners chafed with small chips, pages a little toned, bookshop label on front pastedown. A little shaken, but the text block is tight, solid and unmarked so overall a serviceable Good + copy. No dust jacket issued. May require additional shipping dependent upon destination. Item #71942
