Occult and Esoterica [March 2019]

The ’occult’ represents a large spectrum of belief systems including pseudo sciences, astrology, magick, witchcraft, alternative religious movements, and aspects of spiritualism. 75 items of wonder. Enjoy.

Space / Astronomy

Space / Astronomy

Apollo 11 landed safely on the Moon on July 20, 1969. Celebrating 50 years of space exploration, our list this week is all about space, lunar exploration, and history of astronomy featuring an exceptionally composed 19th century manuscript on learning astronomy written by a French abbot with a handmade planisphere, couple of Russian (USSR) space race publications in English, a design binding, and large format celestial constellations maps.

Selections of astronomy, stars, space language, and futurisms.

We hate to be missing RBMS, it is a CRIME! As we can not be there, we offer this eclectic list involving CRIME. Some things old, some things new, some things scary, one thing blue. Enjoy.

Hunting & Fishing (mostly)

Hunting & Fishing (mostly)

Every now and then we realize we have a small cache of interesting things that do not necessarily line up with our general areas of focus. And thus we present a short list of books spanning nearly 200 years on or about Hunting and Fishing…except for one, it is on plants of Tropical Africa and is included as a vegetarian option. Images, as always, available upon request.

Raymond Pettibon Short List

Raymond Pettibon Short List

As we were pulling together our recent Punk/Counter Culture list we realized that we have more Raymond Pettibon material than we realized…so we decided to keep it out of the first list and bring it all together here. Original and important art to zines, there’s an interesting range of material. We’ve included images of some…images of all available upon request…
