Los Angeles, CA 90027: The Philosophical Research Society, Inc., 1977. Second Printing. HARDCOVER. VERY GOOD. Originally completely pre-subscribed by 1925, but not actually distributed until 1928, this masterful collection of esoterica, symbology and spiritual lore and practice was reprinted numerous times since then, but in reduced format, with black and white illustrations. This Golden Anniversary Edition, measuring 19" high x 12 1/4" wide by 1 1/2" thick, was published to restore the original heirloom quality to this magnificent example of impeccable esoteric scholarship.  Dime-sized spot (blood???) to eleven pages. Subscriber's Edition, of which there were 550 copies printed. This second printing is neither numbered nor signed. Gorgeous and Legendary. Previous owner's bookplate. 54 stunning , full-page colour illustrations by J. Augustus Knapp, including a number of fold-out images.
