Correspondence from George Frederick Sims to Philip Kaplan
G.F. SIMS Rare Books Peacocks, Hurst, nr. Reading, Berks. Hurst 30
[Undated: circa 1952]
We can quote:—
Aleister Crowley: LIBER ALEPH-THE BOOK OF WISDOM OR FOLLY in the form of an Epistle of 555 THE GREAT WILD BEAST to His Son 777. Complete typescript, one of three copies made from Crowley's MS. 224 quarto pages. See enclosed note. £8/-/-
Aleister Crowley: THE HEART OF THE MASTER by Khaled Khan, O.T.O., 1938, first edition, original cloth, fine copy. 12/6
Aleister Crowley: THE BOOK OF LIES. Wieland, 1913, first edition, original cloth very slightly marked, inscribed by Crowley: Gerald (Sir Gerald Kelly, P.R.A.) from Aleister 18.12.13 e.v. £3/-/-
The notes on LIBER ALEPH were written by one of Crowley's disciples but the book is an extremely interesting unpublished work—it is extremely unlikely that it will ever be published.
