Rare & Out of Print
Scarce, first and early editions on the occult, mysticism, philosophy and the inner life. Every book on this shelf is out of print and has something more: a first printing, a signature, a small-press imprint, a complete set. Each copy is checked page by page, graded on the bookseller's scale and photographed as it is, flaws included. Prices follow what comparable copies have actually sold for.

How we describe rare books
The edition, identified
We check the title page, copyright page and printing line, and state the publisher, year and printing in every listing.
Every flaw, named
Jacket, spine, hinges, foxing, inscriptions and ex-library marks are listed plainly. Nothing is left for you to discover.
The copy you'll receive
Photos show this exact copy: covers, spine, title and copyright pages, and any flaws or signatures.
Sent with care
Packed for the journey
Rare books go out in rigid packaging, Australia-wide and worldwide. Tracked and insured postage is available on any rare book: ask us before you order and we'll quote it.
