position as the major intellectual figure on the occult has often been eclipsed by his own notoriety. Portable Darkness is the
first book to tackle the formidable task of collecting the best of his voluminous lifework. In bringing together Crowley`s best
writings, editor Scott Michaelsen makes Crowleyan philosophy both accessible and intelligible. Includes The Book of the
Law, Hymn to Pan and many other classic works." (Covertext) - Dustjacket slightly rubbed and sunned at the spine; a good
to very good copy.
