Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Original printing, one of only 500 copies, scarce in any condition. Front board detached but present. The thin fabric used for the spine is notoriously fragile, has some chipping but on this volume is intact. Dust wear to boards, slight rubbing at edges. Faint foxing to textblock, a few pages have light foxing, but the majority of pages are clean. This is an original 1911 printing of the sixth book of The Equinox- a compilation of esoteric poetry, fiction, and occult instruction, published biannually between 1909 and 1913 and edited by Alister Crowley.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. The First UK printing published by Wieland & Co., London in 1911. The BOOK is in Very Good condition. A very fragile production. Loss to the central portion of the spine and the remaining portion is fragile but still attached. The binding remains tight. Light edge-wear to the boards with a little rubbing and wear to the corners. Free from inscriptions with most pages remaining uncut. Some light creasing in places. The striking cover artwork is widely regarded to be by the artist and publisher, Eugene Wieland, who was also Archer's husband. Two page introduction by Aleister Crowley and also with a single poem 'To E.A.' by Victor Neuberg. The book is protected in a removable Mylar archival cover. Archer was closely associated with Aleister Crowley and with the production of 'The Equinox' series. Scarce - Only the second copy we have handled. More images available on request.
