ALEISTER CROWLEY

This book was privately and anonymously printed in 1898 in an edition of 100 copies, most of which were destroyed in 1924 by H. M. Customs. It is now available here, new, printed in 1997.

The last few years have seen a resurgence of interest in Crowley the mage, culminating in the publication of his diaries, The Magical Record of the Beast 666. But Crowley was also a poet: in his own eyes the greatest poet of his day, and even in the eyes of less partial critics-who included W. B. Yeats-a poet of merit. Three of his poems, written under the influence of his magical and mystical ideas, were included in the Oxford Book of English Mystical Verse.

This book is in mint+ condition, never read or even opened all the way. It has Aleister Crowley's signature machine printed in white on the front of the black hardcover and white title printing on the spine. The black and white dust jacket is also in perfect condition. There are 118 pages.
