The long-anticipated Xoanon Press edition of
Andrew Chumbley's The Satyrs Sermon has now
been issued and is available for purchase at:
http://www.thompsonrarebooks.com/?page=shop/item&si=5254
We have a *very* limited number of copies of the
'standard' edition available, and do not expect
them to last long. Both issues of this were
entirely sold out before publication.

CHUMBLEY, Andrew D.
THE SATYR'S SERMON. "Standard" edition, bound in half morocco, with slipcase.
Xoanon Publishing Limited. 2009.
First edition. Small oblong quarto, original
brown cloth with brown morocco spine panel. 84
pp. Printed in full letterpress in red, black and
gold. The 'standard' edition, although there is
nothing standard about it, being entirely
hand-printed and bound in 1/4 morocco. This
edition is strictly limited to 333 numbered
copies. A deluxe edition was also issued, bound
in full morocco and issued in a specially
hand-made oak box accompanied by a sacramental
talisman of the Corpus Satyri, limited to 111
copies. A fine copy in slipcase, as issued.
Out-of-print upon publication. ¶ Completed in
early 2004, the Sermon formed a portion of the
"Monadic Transmission" series of texts originally
issued in hand-written, hand-illustrated editions
of one copy only. This unique grimoire concerns
the sorcerous precept of Unfettered Desire, as
expounded in parable form by the twin sexual
hypostases of the Sabbatic Agapae. The book gives
voice to a connubial dialectic patterned upon 26
aphoristic formulae or "Sermons" and their
accompanying calligraphic sigils. As a whole, the
book exposits diverse formulae of magical
adoration, invoking the eternal mystae of The Beloved. $350.00 US
Due extremely limited availability, only one copy per customer.
