BCM/ANKH 188, High Holborn, London, W.C.1: Published by the O.T.O., 1939. A Completely Unopened (hence Unread) copy, in Scarce Dust Jacket that shows two light stains, chip to spine head with top extremity wear (see scan). It is otherwise quite remarkable thus, being that the paper stock used for the DJ is extremely thin and very susceptible to rips, tears, and loss. As above, the book itself is Completely Unopened, therefore Unread. A few very light spots to Buckram, but quite exceptional. Internally bright, clean, and Unmarked. Light tobacco aroma that will surely dissipate in a clean environment, otherwise Fine. Frontispiece Tissue Guard, Erratum / Advertisements all present as called for, as is the perforated, Fully Attached Order Form for "The Equinox of the Gods. [Yorke 63 (C) 4.]. First Edition. Hard Cover, Buckram, Sewn. Near Fine/Very Good+. Illus. by Frontis. Photograph by Vernon D. Freedland, Tree of Life Line Drawing.. 4to - 11¾" tall. Oversized Safely, Securely Packed.

Presented to a friend and fellow food connoisseur First edition, presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Louis Fox, an admirable cook a cordial companion. Wishing him as one does in happier climes, 'A thousand times a night for a thousand years' Aleister Crowley". The present work is a practical guide to yoga, with instructions on its use for spiritual purposes. The first proofs for the work arrived with Crowley on 9 March 1939. Louis Fox and his wife Lilian make regular appearances in Crowley's diaries of the late 1930s, often as a dinner companions, and frequently with favourable comments on Louis's food: "Louis Fox. Oysters--Red Caviar--Smoked eel Scrambled eggs Macassar. Faisau a la Creme" (Thursday 29 December 1938, Royal Court Diary Series). A repeated theme is the quality of Fox's "marvellous" and "perfect" bortsch, noting one lunch companion's claims that their chosen restaurant's "turtle soup was very famous: equal,…
