78.0. "The Book of Thoth" by 26759::ROTHBERG (That's not a bug, it's a feature!) Thu Feb 06 1986 06:42

                I was  givin a pointer to this notesfile from the 
                books conference.   I'm looking for a book called 
                'The Book of Thoth',  I believe it was written by 
                Allister  Crowley.   It explains  how  the  Thoth 
                tarrow cards work and how to  use them.  I loaned 
                out my copy ages ago and I  have a feeling that I 
                will never see it again.  I have  the  cards, but 
                without the book, they're pretty useless.  Thanx.
                
                ...Rob...

78.1	I think it's still in print	CFIG1::DENHAM	Beam me up Scottie	`Thu Feb 06 1986 20:05`	2
	I believe it is still in print. I've obtained a copy fairly recently.
78.2	Where'd you find it?	PFLOYD::ROTHBERG	That's not a bug, it's a feature!	`Mon Feb 10 1986 11:04`	8
	Where did you manage to get ahold of it? I've been lokking around all day today in new and used book stores. One of the owners said he had seen it a few months ago pass his way but it has since passed right out his door.
78.3	I had no problem	CFIG1::DENHAM	Beam me up Scottie	`Mon Feb 10 1986 22:10`	7
	I found it in an occult bookstore in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It has probably been 3-4 months since I got mine. If you'ld like I can talk to the owners and see where they are getting theirs. Perhaps you can order one or have someone in your area order a copy for you. /Kathleen
78.4	Sources for ...	USHS01::MCALLISTER	The Shadow Knows ...	`Tue Feb 11 1986 02:44`	9
	My local bookstore, The Aquarian Age, has several copies. I have also seen it in several other psychically related places (The Center for Inner Vision, for instance). Of course, these being in Houston Texas probably won't help you much. I will add the ISBN, publisher and last printing info when I get home to my copy. If I can help out in any way, let me know. Dave
78.5	Almost current Books in Print info	PBSVAX::COOPER	Topher Cooper	`Tue Feb 11 1986 05:41`	19
	I checked in Books in Print (1984-1985 edition). At that time there were two editions available. Both are 287 pages illustrated, paperback and cost $8.95. The LC catalog number is 79-16399. The first edition listed is from U.S. Games System and has ISBN (International Standard Book Number) 0-913866-12-1. It was published in 1977. The second one is from Weiser and has ISBN 0-87728-268-4 and was published in 1974. It has the entry "(orig.)" which according to the table of abbreviations means "original text, not a reprint". My guess is that in this case this means that it was either published from the original plates, or more likely, as a photographic replica of the original edition. The publisher, ISBN and price is enough information for any moderate to large size book store (and most small ones) to order it for you. They will probably want to check with their own, probably more current, edition of Books in Print anyway. They might (but usually don't) charge a small order charge. Topher
78.6	I'll give it a try	PFLOYD::ROTHBERG	That's not a bug, it's a feature!	`Tue Feb 11 1986 14:01`	4
