About This Item
New York: Strathmore Press, 1959. Reprint. Quarto. 25.5cm. Publisher's dark red cloth spine over grey marbled paper covered boards. Illustrated slipcase. 440pp. Light wear and slight darkening to the cloth of the spine otherwise a very good, strong copy in a clean, solid slipcase with very little wear, just a little soiling to extremities. A mammoth creation containing a pretty broad A-Z of occult and esoteric subjects, a rather compact reference work for such an enormous subject.
