Book of Thoth signed by Crowley on Ebay

Scion

LOL A bargain! :D

They say they believe the book to have been owned by Frieda Harris's husband, but the names don't match up--there's no indication that Percy Alfred Harris used the name Nicholas.

Well all 200 copies were signed and numbered : here is a picture of No 22 in a private collection:

Some appear to have been signed Aleister Crowley (well, at least one that I am aware of sold by Weiser Antiquarian c. 2006) and others TO MEGA THERION 666.

Doubt the inscription to Nicholas Harris refers to Lady H's husband though and I am not sure the addition of p-orridge's handwritten poem to front pages adds to the value either, but the limited defacement probably doesn't detract to much from the value either.

Damn! Thanks for posting Mary, good to see even if bidding is not in my budget this week. I really wish someone would buy a copy and then post good quality scans everywhere. I'd love to be able to have a look through in more detail than the few scans that are around the place already.

Glad I only saw this after bidding had ended. I worry about my lack of self-control... ;)

Just curious, is there only one of that book across the globe?

There were 200 of them printed in the 40's. It still in print, and easily avaialble as a modern printing, but these are the original first editions that Crowley had printed and they're pretty fancy :)
