1912mon0003806882Wieland & Co. 1912. Hardcover. Good. . Original printing one of only 500 copies scarce in any condition. The thin fabric used for the spine is notoriously fragile so the fact that this is intact if still tenuous makes it good condition. Dust wear to boards some chipping to boards at corners. Paper label on spine is half chipped away. A few pages have light foxing but the majority of pages are clean. Binding is intact but should be handled gently. This is an original 1912 printing of the third book of The Equinox- a compilation of esoteric poetry fiction and occult instruction published biannually between 1909 and 1913 and edited by Alister Crowley.
