Descripción

1st Edition. First UK Edition for ASTROLOGY YOUR PLACE IN THE SUN. Large 8vo. 346+ pp. in the original maroon cloth with gilt title to spine and stamped text and Sun on the front cover with the "errata" tipped in. Illustrated in B&W, with charts. Published under the Adams's name, the book was likely written by Aleister Crowley who co-wrote & ghost wrote several titles with Adams over a number of years until they has a falling out. This title was her [their] most ambitious; a primer to the planets' influence in the various signs & contributed much to her success as the most famous astrologer of her day, responsible for broadening the appeal of astrology in America. "Adams came from the same illustrious family as two American presidents, John Adams & John Quincy Adams; however, she dismayed her conservative New England relations by, 'dabbling in heathenism'. Her clients ranged from the poor and unknown to the powerful and famous. She taught astrology to financier John Pierpont Morgan, who once stated, 'Millionaires don't use astrology, billionaires do." The heel of the spine is darkened with age and shows usage and there is some foxing on the front and the back pastedown and general toning on the pages. Overall a solid copy that has been well read and cherished by it's owner that is hard to find.
