Sepharial was the nom de plume of Theosophist and Astrologer Walter Gorn Old. This is one of his influential books on the topic. This is the revised and enlarged edition presumably of 1913. The spine cover is unstuck, though present (see photo) and eminently re attachable. Apart from that this is a very nice copy: no inscriptions and in very good condition. Despite spine board detached the binding is firm. Some age related crumpling to corners. We have listed the book as 'good' only due to spine, but other wise VG.

Description:
Tim Severin's classic 8 month adventure which sought to recreate Sinbad's epic journey from the Middle East to China. The 6,000 mile journey is undertaken in a ship –the Sohar- built with materials and methods from Sinbad's time. The whole thrilling adventure is here: across the Arabian Sea to India, then to Sri Lanka and Sumatra, and finally through the China Seas. Although the voyages of Sinbad were full of myth and legend, Severin shows they were undoubtedly based on the exploits of the Arab sea-faring merchants who plied the ancient spice routes to the East.
An excellent copy. Pages are clean and tidy. No marks, staining or creasing, and no inscriptions. Cloth boards are tight and clean. DJ is unclipped and unmarked with no real noticeable wear except for minor largely concealed tanning at the top and bottom of the flaps.

Enthralled by a line from the chronicle of a 16th century monk, which said that the Incas 'flew like birds' over the jungle, Tahir Shah sets out to discover the truth. Did they really glide above the trees, or was the cleric alluding to flight of a different kind, inspired by hallucinogens? Shah's quest leads him deep into Peru. Many epic encounters later he finally uncovers the truth behind the birdmen.

Description:
Professor Shapiro turns his attention to the authorship of Shakespeare. For 200 years after the Bard's death, no one had questioned whether someone else had in fact written the famous plays. Since then dozens of rivals have been posited as potential candidates. Shapiro retraces the source of the controversy and weaves his way through a fascinating path of false claimants, deception, and fabricated documents. He arrives at a key question: are the works autobiographical, and if so, do they hold the key to who actually wrote them?
Book is in excellent condition. Pages are intact, clean, unmarked and uncreased. Cloth covers are clean and tight. The dust jacket is unclipped, complete, and in very good condition with just expected signs of rubbing and minor shelf wear but no tears.

Exceptionally rare copy of Professor Simpson's famous book, as almost never seen in its dust jacket. This is the second edition (1923, a year after the first). Pages are wonderful: no inscriptions, no apparent foxing, damp or creasing at all. Illustrations all present and nice. Binding tight. Page edges are uncut. Red boards are excellent, and gilt writing thereon is really bright. DJ is vanishingly rare, we have never seen one for sale before. Unclipped, it has a darkened spine, shelf wear, and a couple of missing segments, some rubbing and small tears. BUT it has done its protective job and is in a pretty good state for a simple paper cover - that it survived all this time is remarkable! Will be covered in professional removable covering before mailing. See photos all of which are of the copy for sale, we don't use stock photos, more photos available on request thank you

Description:
An international sensation on publication. A dramatic account of the discovery of a creature thought to have been extinct for 65 million years, the book brought science vividly to life. It was published in six English editions and translated into ten foreign languages. The book begins with the finding of a strange fish off the coast of South Africa. As large as a person, the fish had fins like arms and vicious snapping jaws. Smith became certain that what had been caught was the legendary coelacanth, previously known only through fossils. The book follows his obsessive drive to track down other specimens and to learn more about this extraordinary fish that has lived on Earth from the era of the dinosaurs to modern times. A cryptozoological classic.The book is in good condition, no DJ present. Pages are clean and tidy with just minor age wear. Cloth boards are tight and clean with a little wear at extremities. A previous owner has neatly pasted two photos of the fish into the front pages, but these do… Read More

Description:
An exceedingly rare, lovely copy of the 1970 Rider/Aquarian edition (first thus) of Lewis Spence's classic book on Atlantis. With a very good unclipped dust jacket, and pages which are immaculate. Spence was a Scottish folklorist and occultist, and became well known for his works on folklore, myths, legends and the occult in general. A well educated journalist, Spence researched and wrote about a range of related themes, and while he's become seen as a forerunner to many more modern writers of this ilk, he was more serious and disciplined in his approach. He looks at Atlantis and its arcane traditions of magic, alchemy, astrology and witchcraft. Largely dismissed by some as pseudo-science, Spence's book was nevertheless an important contribution to populist occult and esoteric literature. This copy is exceptionally good. Pages are bright, crisp and clean, pretty much immaculate. NOT ex-library. NO inscriptions, markings, highlighting or notes. No foxing or noticeable browning. Fore and top edges are… Read More
