Awesome, if you happen to make a pdf of The Alter of Qayin and Crown Prince of the Sabbat please link it up, those two have no PDF's that I know of.

For physical books, I keep a google doc inventory. Its not currently complete as I haven't had time to sit and inventory all my shelves & the bins I need to unpack, and some on the list I need to mark for deshelving. There are currently 267 on the list I think, but I have somewhere in the ball park of 1000 physical books. My focus leans more to witchcraft, folk magic, folklore, herbalism and peripheral topics. (Note that owning a book does not mean I place any sort of value, belief or agreement with its contents/author. I'll read just about anything, but some books I have only because it came bundled with others I was interested in.)
I think a few of my favorite books in my collection are probably:
1856 English copy of The Long Lost Friend - John George Hohman
1860 The Night Side of Nature - Crowe
1899 The Magic of the Horse Shoe - Lawrence
1864 Saxon Leechdoms vol 1-3 (Leechdoms, wortcunning and starcraft of early England)
I've been meaning to organize and inventory my digital library for quicker reference, but... The mere thought of that is horrifying really. I've saved so many books, articles and such over the years that its going to be its own mountain of a task.

Don't make book requests in other subforums
Hello, any luck with the PDF of Prince of the Sabbat: Ars Diaboli and The Altar of Qayin?

You've been verbally warned not to request books outside the appropriate section. We take such things seriously here.

I don’t really understand how the forum works. I merely asked a question under your reply, or are people prohibited from asking questions under one’s replies?

What about "Don't request books in this section" don't you understand? This thread is about discussing people's physical book collections. All you've contributed here so far was asking for books in electronic format. Book discussions go into Book Discussions and Reviews, request for books go into Book Requests, it's hardly rocket science. Familiarize yourself with the individual forum sections, read the rules, post your request in the appropriate section after checking if the book in question hasn't been already requested. This is a private forum, not Facebook where you can post anything that runs through your head without thinking.

If you’re accustomed to meeting people who “post anything that runs through their head without thinking”, don’t assume it applies to everyone. I didn’t become a company executive by so doing.
If you’re so keen to penalise someone, I’m sure the person who made the comment that I replied to, should be your fall guy — cos he/she made the request that I merry followed up.
Turning off the comment section for such posts should do the trick, and not just going about insulting anyone for what exactly?
These are the issues with eartlings. SMH

I don't care what you are. This isn't the right place for arguing, in fact no place is. You violated the rules in another thread, got verbally warned, then committed the same violation in this one and got an official Warning - which will wear off in three days time anyway. This is how we roll here and you won't change that. End of discussion.
However, if you continue clogging this thread with off-topic posts, Probation or a Ban are distinct possiblities.

Please don't use this thread to make private book requests from individual members, go to Book Requests and make them public so more people will see them and thus increase your chances of actually obtaining them.

To forestall any more rule violation protests & my own schoolmarmish mod replies and to continue with the topic of this thread: My own collection is rather unremarkable except maybe for a 1973 hardcover edition of Crowley's "Magick without Tears". I also have Ouspensky's "In Search of the Miraculous", Bardon's IIH, Carroll's "Liber Null & Psychonaut" the rest are very well-thumbed paperbacks. I'm definitely not a physical and prize my gigs of occult PDFs.

I have a physical copy.
I have exactly six physical ones, now.
The Canticles of Lilith
Seven Crossroads of Night
The Vessel of God
Mystery BABALON : The Bhaktic and Ecstatic Rites
HRILIU
Embodying Lilith
Looking to add She of the Night (1&2) and Daughter of the Reconcilers (whenever the very talented Soror Syrinx decides to release it) soon, but that's really all that remains on my list.

Note : I do not place the Chassidic/Kabbalistic works that I own within the Occult category. These and vintage horror/sleaze pbks comprise the vast majority of my physical book collection. Basically, I purchase what I cannot find PDFs for - or those that I particularly need to study/read/collect in physical form lest they skyrocket in price (again) or vanish.

I also watch his tik-toks, lts of good hard nosed, no fluff educational content. umm I used to have just a few, nothing really that special like I wanna get my hands on a copy of "Asclepius: The Perfect Discourse of Hermes Trismegistus", "The Secret Teachings of All Ages" by Manly P Hall and "The Way of Initiation" by Rudolph Steiner to start my collection over.
But I had...
The Power of the Word by Donald Tyson (Pretty decent, discusses the names of the Abrahamic God)
Liber Null and Psychonaut by Phil Hine
The Corpus Hermeticum, although I still have one of the books (The Divine Pymander)
Condensed Chaos by Phil Hine
Magick in Theory and Practice by A.C .
The Psychonaut Field Manual by Bluefluke (it's a comic, def recommend though it's very practical)
I recommend anything by Peter Carrol or Phil Hine to Chaotes.
