Rare 1st/1st White’s Books Fine Edition Sonnets And Poems, William Shakespeare

November 27, 2024 admin

Rare 1st/1st White's Books Fine Edition Sonnets And Poems, William Shakespeare

An incredibly rare find. A near fine, untouched edition from White’s Books’ 2008 limited pressing of this classic. The only condition remarks concern very very light shelf wear. The book is tightly bound, unread and difficult to photograph internally. A small print run collection of classic literature – very popular with collectors and increasingly difficult to find now. Each book is bound in cloth and features unique wraparound artwork by different contemporary artists – working under the brief of designing a non-repeating narrative pattern. The books are largish hardbacks with Smyth-sewn pages; they use thick, acid-free paper and the top edges are colour-stained; and they include a bound-in ribbon bookmark. Internally, the books have illustrated endpapers (an inverted version of the cover design) and a decorative title page, and the text is elegantly typeset in Monotype Haarlemmer, and right-facing pages are joined to the overleaf by a catchword: an older practice wherein a hanging word at the bottom of the page provides the opening of the following page (intended to assist with reading flow). Best of luck with any offers, but clearly priced to sell quickly &####128077.

The Holy Books of Thelema Aleister Crowley 6 volume set leather binding slipcase

The Holy Books of Thelema Aleister Crowley 6 volume set leather binding slipcase

“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law”. HOLY BOOKS OF THELEMA. As originally published by Aleister Crowley and arranged according to the curriculum of study within the Order. Complete in six volumes quarter leather and blue linen, each book measures 230mm x 175mm with the’THELEMA’ design on the front covers measuring 156mm x 93mm. These special editions of the Holy Books of Thelema are being issued as six volume sets. The first three volumes are based upon Aleister Crowleys own first edition issued in 1909, the fourth volume contains other Holy Books not issued in the first edition, whilst volume five is a complete text of the Book of the Law suitable for both private and Temple use. The sixth volume is a reproduction of the important’Cairo Stele 666′ by noted Egyptologist Terence Du Quesne which analyses the original artifact held at the Boulaq Museum in Egypt. Originally the volumes of’THELEMA’ were issued one at a time as the aspirant progressed through the successive grades of the Outer College of the Order, we maintain this tradition today. We have kept much of the presentation and layout of the original 1909 edition of’THELEMA’, adding those further Class A documents (eight additional in our volume 4, plus a ninth additional in our volume 5) in uniform bindings, this is the only complete and authorised edition of the Holy Books of Thelema in print. With volume 5 we see Liber XXXI (The Book of the Law) printed side by side with its own transcription, the line arrangement of the type closely resembles the original manuscript providing the reader with a useful and unique experience at such times as the reading of the verses during the three days of revealing of the Book of the Law. Liber Liberivel Lapidis Lazuli. Liber B vel Magi. Liber Tzaddivel Hamus Hermeticus. Liber Arcanorum??? ATU??? TAHUTI QUAS VIDIT ASAR IN AMENNTI. Liber A’ASH vel Capricorni Pneumatici. Liber Tau vel Kabbalae Trium Literarum. Liber AL vel Legis – Temple Edition. Cairo Stela 666 being the important rare study of the Stele of Revealing by noted Egyptologist Terence DuQuesne. “Love is the law, love under will”.
