W. Gershom Collingwood’s book Astrology in the Apocalypse was a scholarly essay on allusions to astrology in the Biblical book of Revelation. Published in 1886, and produced in a small binding format, it was on sale for only a short time before being withdrawn. Surviving original printings are consequently rare in any condition.
