It was planned by the renowned book designer John Henry Nash and was the only edition published by H. S. Crocker Co. There were a total of just twenty-two hundred printed for the first five color illustrated editions of 1928. These first five are essentially the same in size and quality with the main variation being that the first was a signed subscriber's edition of 550; and, each had a unique limitation page. In order, the five 1928 editions with print numbers are: The Subscriber's Edition (550); the King Solomon Edition (550); the Theosophical Edition (200); the Rosicrucian Edition (100); and, the Fifth Edtion (800). Following these, the sixth edition of 1936 featured black and white plates only and later printings became progressively smaller in size and of lesser quality. Hall dedicated this tome to: ". the proposition that concealed within the emblematic figures, allegories and rituals of the ancients, is a secret doctrine concerning the inner mysteries of life, which doctrine has been preserved in toto among a small band of initiated minds." Comment on this volume by biographer Louis Sahagun: "The result was a gorgeous, dreamlike book of mysterious symbols, concise essays and colorful renderings of mythical beasts rising out of the sea, and angelic beings with lions' heads presiding over somber initiation rites in torch-lit temples of ancestral civilizations that had mastered latent powers beyond the reach of modern man." - "Master of Mysteries: The Life of Manly Palmer Hall."
