Sources
(a) Samuel Weiser, Inc
-EXCELLENT source for books of all sorts, all high quality. Especially good source for books by Crowley & on ceremonial magick. Highly recommended.
(b) Dover Publications
-reprints many old books, most notably Budge's classic egyptian series
(c) Falcon Press
-small press specializing in Crowley, Israel Regardie, & the Golden Dawn. Also carries Robert Anton Wilson's latest works, such as PROMETHEUS RISING, THE NEW INQUISITION, and the reprinted classic COSMIC TRIGGER.
(d) Shambalah Publications
-mainly Eastern religion & Buddhist, but also some western magick, and recently lots of high-quality New Age works. Recently reprinted the classic series HERMETICA by Sir Walter Scott.
(e) Heptangle Books
-small specialty printing house issuing one volume per year, beautifully typeset. Issued the classic ENOCHIAN INVOKATION by Geoffrey James, which was still in print in April.
(f) The Best of Cards Catalog
Division of US Games Systems
-sells every Tarot pack in existence, & also has a surprisingly extensive booklist of occult books. Good source for Eliphas Levi & tarot material & carries many of the books issued by the above publisher. Catalog is $2. Delivery is the fastest I've ever seen.
(g) Magickal Childe
-excellent listing; carries Gardner's books & assorted paraphanalia such as Abramelin oil. Carries many more books than listed in their catalog; reportedly if you call them they can get ANY occult book, if it's available anywhere. No, I don't have their phone #.
(h) Llewellyn Publications
-not so good a source these days, but carries reprints of many of Israel Regardie's classics. Their catalog resembles the National Enquirer; caveat emptor. Interesting to read for entertainment purposes, occasionally one will find a good book there.
(i) Circle
-a pagan organization publishing a newsletter & sells some books, most notably Circle Guide to Pagan & Wiccan Resources, for contacts.
(j) Dharma Publishing
-sells books on Buddhism, posters of Tibetan Thanka paintings; much more hardcore Buddhist than Shambalah.
These opinions are my own, & where I recall purchasing these books in the past. They may no longer be available.
