Description

pb Fagan, Cyril and Firebrace, Brigadier R. C. Moray Series No. 1: Primer of Sidereal Astrology 4th printing Littlejohn Publishing Co., Isabella, Missouri 1971 £30 Stated first U.S. edition, after the third printing of 1965 and previous, more primitive British editions. Complete in [vii] + 68 + [14 pages of charts] + [pp. 69-126] + 21 pp. This is a variant binding issue, with yellow card instead of the usual green, and glued cloth-tape as a spine instead of the usual comb binding, which may indicate that it is a slightly later issue, but it is internally identical to the first US edition of 1971. Original squarish-format yellow card covers in vgc for age, with 3mm tear to top edge of front cover, also slightly affecting top edge of front free endpapers; creasing and light wear to lower outer corner of front cover, moderate reading creases down inner margins of covers, a few small patches of scuffing to front cover, and minor traces of staining to covers. Former owner’s neatly blue-inked name to upper margin of second ffep. The book remains strongly bound and generally clean inside, but the internal condition is only good+ thanks to occasional yellow highlighting, which was spotted on just seven pages in the book: pp. 7, 71-2, 74-7, 109, 121. Additionally, the word ‘accidents’ has been added in blue ink to the upper margin of p. 77; and there is a plain-pencilled astrological note to the upper margin of one of the rear free endpapers. All early editions are rare and collectible.
