I am looking to buy Book 4 and Magick in theory and practice. I was told that a book just called 'Magick' contains both these volumes plus another couple or so. Could anyone tell me what books are included in Magick by Mr. Crowley. Many thanks

I believe you are actually referring to _Magick Without Tears_ by Aleister Crowley, and I believe it contains the two books you referenced.

P.

Book 4 comprises: Part 1: A short treatise on mysticism (ie. yoga). Part 2: A short treatise on magick. Part 3: Magick In Theory and Practice. Part 4: The Book of the Law and a commentary on it.

The critical edition of Book 4: Liber ABA, put out by Weiser in the US (don't know if it has a different imprint in the UK) contains all four parts (note that the editorial decision on part 4 was that Crowley intended this function to be fulfilled by The Equinox of the Gods, so that is used in that edition).

Separate editions of part 3, good old Magick In Theory And Practice, are out of print over here in the States. The standby edition for decades was the one by Castle Books, which still shows up in remainder sections and used bookstores on occasion. Magickal Childe also published a paperback edition, as did Dover (all OOP).

Weiser still prints a standalone paperback edition of parts 1 and 2 under the title Book 4.

There was an edition edited by Grant and Symonds of parts 1-3 under the title Magick, some years ago. I believe it is also out of print, but could be wrong on this, especially in the UK market.

regards,
