Gerald Yorke, in his “Bibliography of the Works of Aleister Crowley,” states that the majority of the books were destroyed by HM Customs in 1924. Further examination has shown that many copies may have been destroyed prior to the seizure by HM Customs and that only thirty-three copies were seized by HM Customs in 1924 and later destroyed in 1926.
