A fine copy in a near fine dust jacket. The recent discovery of Spare's original Conceptual Folio for the book, once owned by the respected writer E.M. Forster, has revealed an unseen series of powerful magico-erotic drawings - termed by Spare 'blasphemous Ideographs' - that provide an important key to understanding the 'secret ritual of Self-Love' that underlies this evocative and deeply personal work. This new edition features a high quality facsimile of the first edition from 1921 plus a full color facsimile of the Conceptual Folio. Designed, edited and compiled by Robert Ansell.
