This Mandrake Press catalogue includes, at the beginning, a complete edition of Aleister Crowley's seminal (if brief) work The Book of the Law (with an Introduction by Louis Wilkinson). The catalogue then makes a special feature of other books by Crowley published by Mandrake Press (plus a song by Crowley and poster from an oil painting of him by Leon Kennedy). The catalogue also features a photograph of Crowley performing the Rites of Eleusis at Caxton Hall in London in 1912.
From the library of Paul Newman, author of The Tregerthen Horror: Aleister Crowley, DH Lawrence & Peter Warlock in Cornwall (Museum Library id. no. 133.4092 CRO NEW 4431).
