About This Item
New York: Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, 1973. Advance proof of this rare material. Purple matte wraps, cover titles, moderate shelf wear. Pages near fine; editor apparently numbered forward w/Roman numerals in margin. Bind fine. Foreword by Walter Laqueur. Wilhelm Wulff (1892-1979) was a German-Austrian astrologer and writer. This advance issue is apparently somewhat different than the final published volume w/twelve additional pages. He was astrologer to Heinrich Himmler's court. Wulff wrote this book to dispel allegations he was a Nazi supporter working to further it's cause. He was freed from a concentration camp to become Himmler's personal astrologer and, in the author's words "I was anything but a free man... I worked under the constant threat of severe punishment should my calculations prove inaccurate." Wulff relates how he informed Himmler and other high-ranking Nazis about their horoscopes and, more importantly, Adolph Hitler's. 179 pages. Insured post.. First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. Book.
