⁂ An excellent association copy, inscribed to one of Crowley's most loyal followers who would succeed him as head of the Ordo Templi Orientis, provided him with financial support for much of his life and was entrusted with both his ashes and literary remains. The warehouse holding the unbound sheets from this work was flooded, causing loss to the stock as well as damage to the surviving copies, offsetting as in the present case is commonplace.
