Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Tuesday, 15 April 1924
Tuesday Apr. 15.
11.55 A.M. There exist.
1. A MS. of over 600000 words
2. A reputation of every kind of infamy. The Ms. tho' lively is censor proof. It can be represented artfully in propectuses as the Confessions of A.C. [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley] A great fuss can be made about mailing copies to subscribers in a plain wrapper and otherwise insuring their delivery. We can offer to refund subscriptions where delivery has failed. There should be no difficulty in selling outright 2000 at $10 a copy. Surplus subscriptions can be absorbed in a second Edition which can be in some way different from the first—either abridged or edited or in some way sufficiently altered. During the issuing of the prospectuses the Author will undertake some feat which will bring him great extra publicity.
