Book of Thoth - how many volumes?

I was at a couple of book stores today, and browsed The Book of Thoth. I'm a bit confused as to whether there is only one book, or if there are multiple volumes?? I found this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Book-Thoth-Sh...2684/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295154862&sr=8-1 that says it is Volume III or something. Is there a list of them, or does someone have a link where I can view the entire collection?

Thanks!

Hey Saker, The Book of Thoth is just one volume.

Volume 3 No.5 in that Amazon ad refers to the Equinox, a periodical that Crowley authored and published. The Book of Thoth was originally published as Vol.3 No.5 of the Equinox. There were 200 signed copies. Originals go for thousands of $$.

Also the whole thing is available on line anyway, if you want to save your pennies....

I think this link still works.

I think the story goes that Crowley designated The Book of Thoth as an edition of his periodical to get round some rule on paper rationing, which was seriously in force during WW2.

You couldn't print books during the war, but periodicals were permitted, so The Book of Thoth was published as an edition of The Equinox.
