This is a weblog about luxury editions of occult books. If you're a book lover this will either make you salivate or make you green with envy. Nothing below 200 dollars. Notice the white gloves

Nice - but a touch clinical.
I like my texts to have the odd alchemical stain.  |

Let's see...if it's red wine, I pretreat, then sponge the area with alchohol...if it's blood, peroxide should do the trick...  |

| The Ninth Gate is a fun film. Polanski's wife couldn't act to save her life though. Boris Balkan is a character from the film, and this blog appears to have modelled his/her online persona on that character. The illustrations from The Sacrificial Universe are amazing. Would love to spend a few elevated hours with that text. I love old books. |

Hmmm ... there seems to be a market for ridiculously expensive magic books. I don't know what to make of this:

I collect the grimoires that Avalonia books occasionally produce and they usually produce them in a mass market paperback version (which I buy as I'm interested in the contents not the cover) and a limited edition velum paged leather bound volume which despite being a significant chunk of change fly off the shelves so there is a market.
I suppose if I just wanted a Boris Balkan style book shelf of the forbidden for my man cave and I had the cash then I probably would indulge. |
