Mystical and Magickal System of the A.'.A.'.
-
93
I just saw 3 copies on Amazon starting at $380 but going all the way up to close to $1000 (last one signed) www.amazon.com/gp/product/0970449607/
It's been going for around $400 by what I've seen over the last few months but $899 is a rip off (no offense Jim!) offered by scum who will gladly accept your car for trade.. Make sure you have the name right "The Mystical and Magical System of the A.'.A.'." (note no 'k' in magical, not sure if typing .'. with an apostrophe is best though..) and don't pay anything unreasonable or it will increase the price/demand rate for your fellow seekers who follow you... Good Luck! -
93!
If you buy it on ebay without bidding you pay $1999
I just wanted to say what I meant (not that I believe I offended Jim) is that you have a priceless opportunity here for free! Don't dream it, be it... or something to that extent.
THANKS JIM FOR YOUR WORK!!

So basically this book is the A.'.A.'. version of Israel Regardies's The Golden Dawn? I seriously hope it's not nearly as expensive when it's released. I've always found it confusing that in order to spiritually develop, you have to be financially successful first.

At a time when it was pretty impossible to get a quality hardcover on magick for under $50, we kept the price of M&MAA to $37.00. When it is re-releasd, we hope to keep it at no more than $50.

That's a more than reasonable price. I understand the need to cover publishing costs and some profit to cover expenses and whatnot, but I've always found that anyone that has tried to make a profit out of mystical and magickal teaching, normally ends up perverting their message.

Hi All and Jim,
When will it be re-released?
Thanks,

I can't predict that yet.

That's a curious concept - what makes you believe that you need to be financially successful in order to spiritually develop? What does it mean to you to spiritually develop?

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
can i just chime in here and say that book is great?!?
i didn't make the connection between Jim the Author and Jim The Poster Nutbag until about a week ago, because i'm a big dork, but what a great legacy!
well done!
Love is the law, love under will

That $380 copy is apparently a bargain.
Did anybody see this intriguing note about its condition?"Like new. Has white out in one of the Oath pages. Nothing is erased."
Almost worth buying just to see which clause the original owner wanted to get rid of....

Zeph:
"That $380 copy is apparently a bargain."
and the value will actually go up drastically after the second edition is released because it's becomes a collectors item instantly being the original print!
My partner and I are laughing that we've doodled in and highlighted parts of ours, not that we intend to sell it but it seems blasphemous now yet perfectly acceptable if not to be expected when it was only $37...

I cant find it on amazon."
It's currently out of print. I'm responsible for some errata before we take it back into print. There might be a couple of copies left in our Grand Imperator's possession and I could forward him your email address if you like.
While I'm very proud of how the hard cover was manufactured, and generally recommend, I do have a (very) few copies of the Version 3 softcover. If you're just interested in the content, you might want that."
Jim - would you please forward him my email address?
Thanks!

I will.
I've also edited your post to remove the address. Don't ever ever ever post your email address where it is visible on a forum or web page - that step (or equivalent harvestable public disclosure) accounts for something like 90% of all spam.

Thanks Jim! As for email harvesting, I put that address on there intentionally as a test of my new hush.com account which supposedly uses strong filtering and encryption, but I appreciate you removing it as a best practice. I actually worked at one of the major stories in corporate email filtering (Postini) for over 2 years, as well as one of the "grey hat" "email deliverability providers" (Skylist/now Datran) so I'm pretty familiar with both sides of email offense/defense.

OK - feel free to put it back

Jim, would you please forward my email address also?
Thank you

93! All,
Jim, could you keep us all posted on possible release dates for the next printing? I am sure that many on here, myself included, would love to own a copy without breaking our bank accounts.
