A first issue of the First Edition of the first volume, on mysticism, of Crowley's magnum opus, "Book 4". Only 500 copies were printed of this first issue, which has the publisher's address given as "3 Great James Street, Bedford Row."The volume is in its original distinctive "flashing binding" and is unusual example of the book as talismanic object, with the design by Crowley also reflecting the (itself symbolic) number 4: a theme carried through from the square shape; 4 equal sides; to the original prices, 4 groats and 4 tanners respectively, and the intended 4 volumes of the series (although only two were issued in this format).
