History of the 1955 Samuel Weiser edition

Karl Germer, successor to Aleister Crowley as head of Ordo Templi Orientis was a customer of Weiser Antiquarian Books. After Crowley's death, most of his papers and other possessions were shipped to Germer, including unbound sheets of the 1936 edition of his book The Equinox of the Gods. In 1955, Germer sold the sheets to Samuel Weiser, who had them bound up in maroon cloth and sold through the shop. This was probably one of the first books to be published by Samuel Weiser – although it retained the original O.T.O. title page and imprint.[1]
