I thought of the Music, Literature forum, but since the books pubished by Mr. Kessinger are dedicated to esoteric spirituality and Hermetic philosophy, I thought it best to post this information right here in my virtual home-away-from-home.

http://www.kessinger.net/index.php

I phoned Kessinger Publications on August 25th, 1992 - the day after Hurricane Andrew struck south Florida. I had no electricity for the next 10 days, but the phone lines were still intact. With nothing to do (I had minimal damage) I phoned for a copy of Ruland's Lexicon of Alchemy that Jung always referred to, and I ended up having a nice chat with Mr. Kessinger himself, who asked me about the hurricane. Meanwhile, he was relating to me the snow-capped mountains that he was looking at from his office window, near Glacier National Park, Montana. Anyway, because he had kept me on the phone so long, he gave me a present - a copy of this book by Benedictus Figulus: A Golden and Blessed Casket of Nature's Marvels. In a block at the bottom of the first page it reads: "Now Published For The Use And Benefit Of All Sons Of The Doctrine Of Hermes." I didn't think of myself at that time as a 'Son of Hermes [Thrice Great]' - the mythic character who is the representation of all ancient Gnosis.

By way of comparison, Samuel Weiser sold me a copy of the same Lexicon for $75 which I returned when I discovered that Mr. Kessinger sold the same book for under $20. I recently purchased a 3 volume set of G.R.S. Mead's Thrice Greatest Hermes through Kessinger's affiliate, Amazon.com (cheaper than Kessinger itself). Anyone looking for rare out-of-print books: look them up on Kessinger, but compare the price at Amazon.

Peace.
