"Do you have a link where I can get the commentaries with Heidrick's notes?"
The version on this page should be the right one. You can also google for the phrase "WEH NOTE" and see what other online libri Bill has footnoted.

"I have all of the books, aside from the aforementioned Rites of Eleusis"
Eleusis & Rites of Eleusis are two different texts. Rites is the script to a performance Crowley & Waddell(among others) put on in Westminister in 1910. The Eleusis referred to in the Student Reading Curriculum can be found in Vol. III of the Collected Works.

hm... I thought I had posted here but it seems my post disappeared.
Sorry to bug you more, Jim, but I'm hoping that you're willing to try and help me out some more. First, I want to thank you for hooking me up with the right people in the ToT. Unfortunately, they said that they couldn't work with me, but I wanted to say thanks for hooking me up with them.
Secondly, I've tried e-mailing the Cancellarius again of the Estai/Meral AA lineage and haven't heard back yet after a few weeks now. I was wondering if there's another e-mail that I should be using besides the ordoaa.org one?

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to resurrect on this topic, but I thought it would be better than starting a brand new one:
I'm in Santa Fe, New Mexico at a conference, and today I saw a complete 10-volume set of Volume 1 of The Equinox for sale in a used bookstore. It's the 1993 Weiser facsimile (hardcover, white leather-bound?) edition, and it looks to be in good shape. The store wants something like $800 for it, but they may negotiate. I don't think they're willing to break up the set. Anyway, the store is "Big Star Books & Music," at 329 Garfield Street, Santa Fe, NM.
I don't have any connection with this store, but I thought that if there were any aspirants to A.'.A.'. studentship out there who are in search of a full Equinox set, this might be a good one to snap up!

The 1993 Weiser edition (All ten issues of Volume One bound into two large white books with also a box to put the books in when it was originally sold) originally retailed for either $300 or $350 (I forget which). It is out of print so is sold as a collectible. You can find copies of it on eBay and Amazon (used/rare etc) as low as $450 today or as high as several thou$and (who do they think I am?). I don't know that you will always find the set with the box it came in (a display box such as many trilogy releases etc come in), but I would doubt that any copy of the book(s) is in less than great condition. I'm not a worshiper of objects or collector type person, so I don't know what I'm looking at sometimes in that respect - I can't tell you the real terms of things, but that paper they use for the book(s) is the same kind old Bibles used, thin and fancy in its way I guess, which makes you respect the page as you turn it - so I've never seen an abused copy yet. In fact, of all the Crowley works I have, my copy of The Equinox Vol 1 is the only one that hasn't been written or drawn on.

Personally, i am not a Crowley Bibliophile... In an age of information, especially free information, it seems rather silly to sweat objects. Everything to me is temporary, so, why waste the money that I could spend on a trip to Amsterdam when I can print up and bind my own Equinox? The information does not change based on the format and, truthfully, I am a very clumsy person having ruined many a book.

Well, no one can blame you there.
Even though they've outlawed magic mushrooms. (Damn tourists don't know how to drive.)
But if there's one thing in life I appreciate (besides well-cured cannabis) it's a finely crafted book.

Agreed it is simply nothing I seek directly, but I will certainly not turn down a good deal... Like my illuminated BOTL
