2013rif. 932664York Beach Maine: The Teitan Press 2013. NEW / SIGNED Booklaunch copy June 7th 2013. One of 418 Hand Numbered Copies Additionally Signed by Richmond and Tibet. From the Publisher see image: A Book of Sketches reproduces in full a series of colour and black and white sketches mostly of women from a sketchbook utilised by Aleister Crowley from the late 1930s through the early 1940s that is now preserved in the Yorke collection in London. While the 45 plates include a number of finished drawings most are unpolished designs possibly "roughs" for later more detailed compositions. Although hardly examples of "high art" they offer a fascinating glimpse of Crowley's process of imagining his art and the varied styles with which he experimented. Several of the portraits are identifiable as known lovers of Crowley's notably Catherine Falconer and "Alice" probably Alice Sutherland - his mistress for more than three years whilst at least one other appears to be a representation of his ill-fated wife Maria "Marie" Teresa de Miramar. With a five page Introduction by Crowley art aficionados David Tibet and Keith Richmond. The book is a hardcover landscape format 8vo. 6 x 9 inches: approx. 15.2 x 22.9cm xii 45 plates each printed on rectos only.

Si tratta della prima traduzione inglese del testo Tibetano Buddista “Bardo Thodol”, realizzata dallo scrittore americano Walter Yeeling Evans-Wentz (1878-1965), antropologo e pioniere nello studio del buddismo tibetano e nella sua trasmissione al mondo occidentale. Il titolo fu inventato da Wentz per la similarità con l’antico “Libro dei morti” egiziano, e come il testo egizio anche questo tibetano diventò un importante classico della spiritualità universale.
