"Jim - would you please forward him my email address?"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
You can edit your post. -
93,
"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. "
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.

And you an astrologer and all!

Do people actually pony up to buy books that expensive? It's crazy I say, crazy!
Personally I would not do it. I'd wait for new copies to be printed again and hope they come out before I die. -
Any chance of it possibly being released in electronic format?

No. And, personally, I can't think of why one would want a file when one could have a book. Considerable care was taken to manufacture this in the most durable, beautiful way possible, including acid free papers and boards that should last more than a human lifetime.

"Considerable care was taken to manufacture this in the most durable, beautiful way possible"
This is true, it is one of the most beautiful books in my book shelf.
And it was not that expensive either. I orded it when I saw it on line. But as I live in sweden I had to pay tax for it and if that was not enough I also had to pay a fee for payng the tax. That's sweden for you -
I am not arguing that I am just as much a book whore as most of you
But besides mortaging my house for a book. and I am sure its well worth it I just cannot justify the amount that it is doing the rounds at currently. I seriously hope another publishing run happens soon heres hopeing -

I don't encourage people to spend that kind of money either! (There's a certain emotional gratification at how highly it is valued but, from the point of view of wanting to put it in people's hands at a fair price, I don't think people generally should be paying that price. - Collectors, of course, always will do things like that.)

Yeah, I got my copy from a half price book store in houston I think. The price was justifiable

I am one of those crazy book fiends.I bought my copy for $800.00 and have no regrets.The book is unique and worth every cent.I figure in ten years my copy will be worth around $20,000.00 and I will be able to retire early.

I paid the cover price for mine ($37). I have made jokes about how much some of my books go for now to my wife (case in point of you spending $800 on this book) and she said how if I die, the first thing she's doing is selling my library, lol. -

Make sure she lets us know

Hehe let me start scouring I have surpised myself of late by doing some digging.. you can make some huge savings I picked up the Geoffrey James Enochian book for like £12 I have seen it going for well over $300 .. And I also got Magick without tears for £10 and thats also been fetching high prices.. The most I have paid for a book is $200 maybe I should up my ante and stop grumbling
-
No one's selling Magick Without Tears cheap? I think on Amazon it's going for like 100 dollars. Still too expensive for a book for me. The only books I have paid 100 or more dollars for are Lane's Arabic lexicon.

That's a real shame. Look, save your money and go download the pdf for free off the internet.
