Weiser Antiquarian Books is pleased to offer a selection of back issues of the periodical Ambix. Those with a scholarly interest in alchemy, chemistry, and the history and philosophy of science, are probably already familiar with the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry (SHAC). For those new to the field SHAC was founded in 1937, and has "consistently maintained the highest standards of scholarship in all aspects of the history of alchemy and chemistry from early times to the present." Ambix, the journal of SHAC, has been published regularly since the society's inception, and is committed to those same ideals:

"Its coverage is wide and varied, ranging from studies in exoteric and esoteric alchemy to recent chemistry. The presentation of scientific ideas, methods and discoveries is made as non-technical as possible, consistent with academic rigour and scientific accuracy. The readership of AMBIX is international and includes historians, chemists and scholars in other disciplines."

The journal is beautifully produced: clearly printed on quality paper, with photographs usually reproduced on separate coated-paper inserts, etc. The contributors amount to a veritable "Who's Who" of the most respected authors in their fields.

All copies of the journal offered here are "new," though some have light shelf dust. Quantities are limited: in some cases we only have one copy of the issue that is listed.

For those new to our catalogs, details about this catalog & how to purchase from it can be found at the end of the listings.

This catalog has been released simultaneously with a catalog devoted to another journal, The Occult Review. Those interested in viewing that catalog will find it at: http://www.weiserantiquarian.com/catalogfortytwo).


As usual we have a variety of other catalogs in preparation. Our next list will probably be Spiritualism (Part III) . Future catalogs will be devoted to Alchemy & Hermetica, Astrology, Mythology, Theosophy, John Dee, Grimoires, Witchcraft, and other of our specialties, with a few suprises along the way. Of course we will also continue to regularly issue our Aleister Crowley catalogs.

If you would like to be notified by email when we post a new catalog on-line, please send an email with 'subscribe' in the subject line to books@weiserantiquarian.com
You can have your name removed from the list at any time, simply by asking, and of course we will not re-supply your details to anyone.

For other books you can also always visit our website: http://www.weiserantiquarian.com where we currently have nearly 10,000 books listed, with new stock added weekly.

About This Catalog & How To Purchase From It.


top       

This is Weiser's eighty-second year of business as specialist sellers of esoteric books. For many decades the company issued printed catalogs, however, the high costs involved and the advent of the internet brought an end to these, and for some years we only listed our books on various internet book-sites and directly on to our own website. In January 2006 we began issuing a new series of on-line catalogues, of which this is the forty-third. Whilst we will continue to add stock weekly to the 10,000 books currently listed on our website, http://www.weiserantiquarian.com we will also issue regular on-line catalogs like this on various of our specialist subjects.

These catalogs give us the opportunity to present collections or groups of related items in a more detailed and sympathetic context than the normal website allows, and will also enable us to give our established customers first choice at some of the more interesting new arrivals, as well as to offer them 'special' or bargain items. The items in this catalog will not be advertised on other bookselling sites until at least several days after the emails advertising the catalog have been sent out and it has been posted on-line. If you would like to be notified by email when we post a new catalog on-line, please send an email with 'subscribe' in the subject line to books@weiserantiquarian.com You can have your name removed from the list at any time, simply by asking, and of course we will not re-supply your details to anyone.

Please keep in mind that in most cases we only have one copy of the book listed available for sale, and that it is therefore advisable to order promptly if you wish to secure it.

The books can be ordered either through our main website: http://www.weiserantiquarian.com by telephone, mail, or email. If you wish to order through our website, simply go to the homepage and locate the book or books using the author and title, and use the 'shopping cart' and secure check out facilities. When ordering a book by telephone, mail, or email please tell us the author, title, and, most importantly, the 'unique book number' (that is the number in brackets next to the price) of the book or books you wish to purchase. Postage and insurance, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser at cost.

We will advise promptly whether the book or books you ordered are still available, and the postage options. Customers from within the United States may pay by Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, or Amex), money order, or check (or in-person by cash). Overseas customers can pay by Credit Card, or by International Money Order or Bank Draft payable in U.S. dollars.

Please contact us if you have any queries. Our email for enquiries or orders is:
books@weiserantiquarian.com

or you can telephone us on: 207-363-7253

If calling from overseas please dial your international access code, followed by the country code for the US (1) and then 207-363-7253.

As our business is 95% internet / phone / and mail-order we do not keep regular 'shop hours.' However, we are usually available to answer queries between 9am and 5pm, weekdays, EST (Eastern Standard Time) that is the same time zone as Boston. If calling long distance a useful time conversion chart can be found at: Worldclock or you can safely leave a message on our answering machine at any time.

Copies of our previous catalogs are now accessible on-line at our Catalog Archive Page:

Please note that these are 'old,' out-of-date catalogs and are primarily stored for interest’s sake only. Most of the books listed in them have already sold.
Those that are still available will be listed on our main website: http://www.weiserantiquarian.com or you can inquire direct by email.
