From Weiser on publication: "To mark our 60th Anniversary, Weiser Books is publishing a facsimile hardcover of its 1969 edition of Aleister Crowley's The Book of Thoth, which in turn was a facsimile of the original O.T.O. edition printed in 1944. This new collectors edition is limited to one printing, with a special run of 3,000 copies. Once they sell out, thats it... own a piece of Weiser Books publishing history! The text is digitally restored, printed on a heavy, coated stock, and features revised color plates and black and white illustrations of the Thoth Tarot based on new photography of the original art, courtesy of the O.T.O. and The Warburg Institute. The book text block is smyth sewn, with a rounded back, and headbands. Printed endpaper reproduces the Egyptian motif from the board covers of the 1944 edition. The cover is quality cloth over boards with gold stamping on the spine, and is wrapped with a jacket which again features updated art while matching the original design. Weiser Books takes pride in the release of this new hardcover reprint on the event of our 60th anniversary in publishing. Replaces ISBN 9780877282686".
