A History of Economic Thought (Pelican)
William J. Barber
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1977
A classic.

A History of Orgies (Prion Lost Treasures)
Burgo Partridge
Prion, 2002
good but misses some pretty important orgies
+ A fascinating, risque read.
More a cursory glance at the history of orgies than a really exhaustively satisfying romp through orgy eternity that would leave the reader feeling more than a little spent. It really misses some of the lesser known orgies whose impact on orgy history might be greater than the author realized. ...

Book of the Law
Aleister Crowley
Weiser Books, 1987
Grimoire Edition
+ 93 all
+ Crowley's Book of the Law
I first read the Book of the Law in a soft cover edition and found it
to be a very focused occult text, with its own interesting and orginal
words of power. The hard cover edition enhances the occult sense and feel
of this book, I consider it the Grimoire edition. An interesting aspect of
