About this Item

Bound in yellow cloth which is mottled, flecked, and soiled at the top sections of the front and rear boards. Apparent exposure to dampness. With a lengthy inscription by Evangeline Adams on the front endpaper: "Inscribed for my very good friend Jack Henderson with the hope that 1932 will bring you real blessings and all that is good for you--Devotedly--Evangeline Adams" In a very good dust jacket with pieces missing at the top and bottom of the spine ends. And wear at the folds and corners. An uncommon book in dust jacket with a lengthy inscription. Evangeline Smith Adams (February 8, 1868 � " November 10, 1932) was an American astrologer based in New York City. She ran a thriving astrological consulting business, gained widespread notability for successfully defending her astrological practice in court,[1] and produced a number of popular books about astrology, including Astrology: Your Place in the Sun (1927), Astrology: Your Place Among the Stars (1930), and her autobiography, The Bowl of Heaven (1926). While Aleister Crowley ghostwrote her books on astrology, Adams is an acknowledged contributor to Crowley's own astrological text The General Practice of Astrology. She has been described as "America's first astrological superstar".[2] It was towards the end of her career that Adams took to publishing books and raising her profile within popular media. For most of her working life, she ran a thriving astrological practice based on consultation by person or mail. This grew to employ several assistants and stenographers. For a number of years Adams employed Crowley as a ghost-writer. Their business relationship eventually turned into an acrimonious one, which brought copyright issues of "who really wrote what", with regards to Crowley's General Principles of Astrology (now settled with the book being attributed to Crowley but with a recognized contribution by Adams). First Edition with matching dates of 1931. Seller Inventory # 2324
