I'm pleased to announce that the first English translation of (pseudo-)John Dee's Libellus Veneris Nigro Sacer, alias Tuba Veneris, will be published this winter by Waning Moon Publications. Translated from the Warburg manuscript by Terri Burns and Nancy Turner, it is illustrated by Jeffrey S. Kupperman and Darlene

the book looks very interesting, but on seeing the price, i think i'll have to wait a while longer before i get to see it.

dont get me wrong, im not complaining at the price per se, just that i dont have the money to buy it

Aye, that's the perennial problem with small presses - especially when doing quality bound books. The price of the raw materials are quite steep in themselves and it's a time-consuming exercise to bind all those books too!

Then again it's sometimes worth it... I kick myself to think that that I passed up the chance to buy various books that - now I want to read them - are going for ridiculous prices, for example: http://www.sitecenter.dk/noxrex/scrapbog1/

More expensive but incredibly beautiful books here: http://www.caduceusbooks.com/publications.htm

Thanks for the info on the publishing of TV. I've been using it for some years on and off and have been fascinated by it since I came across a photo of the frontpiece when in my teens (70's).

The Western Mystery Trad. on-line articles by Terri Burns et al are insightful if a bit contradictory in places.
