A nice copy of the 2nd edition (1947) of Manly Hall's supplement to his Secret Teachings of All Ages. In it, he looks to develop a philosophic code based on thousands of years of esoteric knowledge. Pages are remarkably good: save for a very small neat inscription on FEP, all pages are bright and clean. No notes, tanning or foxing. Rare as such for this edition. Binding is tight. Boards are clean, bright and uncrumpled. DJ is intact and original colours nicely retained. There are a couple of small missing segments (see photos ), one at top left of cover into top off spine, the other at base of rear cover. Other than that, some rubbing, creasing and shelf wear but overall still good (and the presence of the DJ in any state in this edition is rare). A little give to the spine but nothing which detracts from the overall quality of the book. See photos, all of which are of the copy for sale, we don't use stock photos.

A controversial 'first hand' look at the infamous Rendlesham Forest UFO incident of late 1980. Larry Warren – then a security officer at the US Air Base- maintains he saw base chief Colonel Holt himself standing around a strange craft in the forest, as well as observing floating aliens and the military filming the whole thing. How you view this book will probably depend on your views in general of conspiracy and cover up. And certainly Warren's life has been somewhat checkered, and his alleged role in the famous incident doubted and disbelieved. Nevertheless, a most interesting addition to UFO accounts.
