Synopsis
"This is the testimony of all that I have seen, and all that I have learned. . . . For this is the Book of the Dead, the Book of the Black Earth, that I have writ down at the peril of my life..." The classic and controversial grimoire--a book of magic, spells, and rituals, ready to be incorporated into your life Since its initial publication in 1977, there has been a lot of ink spilled on the subject of the Necronomicon . Some have derided it as a clumsy hoax, while others have praised it as a powerful spell book. As the decades have passed, more information has come to light both on the book's origins and discovery, and on the information contained within its pages. Regardless of its origins, the Necronomicon has been found to contain formulae for spiritual transformation consistent with some of the most ancient mystical processes in the world--processes that were not public knowledge when the book was first published, processes that involve communion with the stars. Despite the controversy, the first edition sold out before it was published--and it has never been out of print in the decades since then. If this book or the arcane practices that it claims to illuminate have ever piqued your interest, then wait no longer, and discover the truths that the Necronomicon has in store for you and the impact that it can have on your life., In the past 31 years, there has been a lot of ink-actual and virtual-spilled on the subject of the Necronomicon.

In spite of all the controversy, the first edition sold out before it was published. And it has never been out of print since then. This year, the original designer of the 1977 edition and the original editor have joined forces to present a new, deluxe hardcover edition of the most feared, most reviled, and most desired occult book on the planet.

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.

    History

    I am a history fan. Purchased this book and realized it's b a basically a compilation of ancient Sumerian cuneiform texts from 5000 years ago presented as some mystical or magical writings. Some say H.P. Lovecraft wrote it but the ancient Sumerian cuneiforms were not translated until around or after Lovecraft's death. Not even sure how Lovecraft could deny the books existence when it was first published 40 years after his death...So maybe it was written 1200 years ago by the mad Arab (predating the only account of cuneiform translation?) Or written by Peter Lavender in the 1970's after Zecharia Zitchin translations. It's hardly a book magical book of power without understanding the meanings behind the names of the gods who basically wrote the earliest examples of human understanding of ...

  • Mesmerizing

    If you want to understand the Necronomicon, you should read this book first. It doesn't matter if you believe the Necronomicon is real magic, or just interested in it for curiosity sake. The fear factor over this book is ridiculous. No spook is going to get you. Just read the book!

  • A great ancient tome for a great value.

    And a quick delivery! This book isn't for the novice practitioner or those who do not have a respect for the occult..there is a reason Crowley used it..

  • Actually a pretty good read!

    Not nearly as scary as the title leads on. Don't read the chants aloud and you'll survive to the end. MU-ha-haa!
