(Unknown) Quest: In Search of the Dragontooth/Book and Amulet
Scranton, Pennsylvania Running Pr Book Pub 1994 1561384135 / 9781561384136 First Edition Hardcover Near Fine
Hardcover with purple cloth covers, 143 pages with beautiful color illustrations throughout. Includes folded two-sided broadside. "Quest,",which Green calls a work of allegorical fiction, purports to be the facsimile and translation of the journals of Magnalucius, a parable wherein things are revealed as symbols and symbols are found to be real. Armed with his unicorn crystal, Magnalucius, a wandering sixteenth-century artist-mystic, searches for the source of all evil--the Dragontooth. The crystal has the power to neutralize the Dragontooth's malignant forces. "If thou art an earnest pilgrim on the path of Life, then open, read, and ponder," Magnalucius beseeches the reader. It's an enchanting tale, and full-color illustrations by the author add to the book's charm. Interior clean and bright, broadside nice. Purple covers are clean, gold type bright but just slightly worn on front. Overall NEAR FINE condition.

Craven, J.B. Craven Doctor Robert Fludd (Robertus do Fluctibus) -The English Rosicrucian: Life and Writings
NY Occult Research Press 1950 0712903356 / 9780712903356 Limited/Numbered Hardcover VG
Hardcover with faux alligator covers, Limited Edition #46/300, 260 pages. Fludd was associated with the school of medical mystics who claimed to be in possession of the Key to Universal Sciences. His interest in the Rosicrucians continued and it is said that he became, during this time, an influential member of the Fraternity of the Rose Cross. Interior has a few pencil marks in margins here and there and a few small brown foxed marks. Portions, if not all of the text pages appear to be facimile of Craven's original work on Fludd which was published in 1902, although no credit is given except republication on the title page. Exterior shows just a tiny bit of wear at top and bottom of spine. Previous owner name (Indiola Keys, who apparently was heavily into this subject in NYC and Columbus Ohio; her husband was in management at Curtiss Wright aviation) on FFEP, dated 1960, and book dealer decal for Samuel Weiser books on inside front cover. This would probably indicate the Occult Research Press was one of his noted publishing ventures, which began in the 1950s, and would date this reprint to the same decade. Spine lettering faded. Overall VG condition.
