My joy is the joy of eternity, and my laughter is the drunken laughter of a harlot in the house of ecstasy.

For those of you who are interested in Crowley's Mountaineering career and/or having enough cash at hand (hardly after the latest Weiser catalogues):

Antiquarian Booksellers and Auctioneers Reiss & Sohn of Königsstein, Germany are selling on October 24th 2007: Jacot Guillarmod, J. Six mois dans l'Himalaya, le Karakorum et l'Hindu-Kush. 2 vols.

The interesting part is that the books are accompanied by a photograph album containing 606 original photographs. I presume that chances are good that there might be an unknown photograph of Aleister Crowley amongst them, other than the famous one with beard which can be seen here: http://www.lashtal.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-13

I will try to maybe attend one of the previewing sessions and find out more, but it will be 400km drive, so maybe someone here on the forum lives nearer and wants to give it a try. You can find details here: http://www.reiss-sohn.de/frame_buch.php?page=2189&lang=eng

93! The book went for 8500 Euros. I did not manage to preview it, much less bid for it. Anyone here previewed it or was the lucky buyer? Love=Law, Lutz

There is another picture of A. C. in this book, the one used as frontis in the 'Book of Lies' showing Crowley on his four-legged friend in 'Fistful of Dollars' poncho. I bought my copy of the Guillarmod book from a market stall in Cambridge in 1969 for 3/6. There was an ex-library copy on ABE earlier this year priced at £1,370-00. Nick.
