Sinopsis

Timothy d',Arch Smith is a well-known bibliographer, reviewer and antiquarian bookseller with a special interest in the by-ways of literature, notably the occult and the curious. For Aleister Crowley a book was a talisman and their every part right down to colour, dimension, and price was symbolic. He also used magical techniques to gain literary success--thus new editions of Crowley',s writing multiply daily, tantalizing the bibliographer. All the more indispensable is this authoritative guide to his magical first editions. Timothy d',Arch Smith, widely acknowledged as a leading expert on Crowley and on underground literature, offers several shorter articles on: *Oxford',s demonologist Montague Summers, *R A Caton and his Fortune Press, *Sexual prophet Ralph Chubb, *Florence Farr, *The British Library Private Case, *and Timothy d',Arch Smith. *For this new edition, he also adds an extra chapter on Crowley.
