Speaking of binding books, my copy of Smith's Classical Dictionary (1888) [nothing to do with Clark Ashton SMITH] is falling apart; I need to have it rebound.
I recently read through some books (Yeats's Golden Dawn, On the Nightmare, and Man Into Wolf) which had some fascinating lists of rare books in them. Yeats's Golden Dawn had a list of the contents of the Order of the Golden Dawn's hermetic library as of 1897. A lot of people like to make fun of the Golden Dawn, and William Butler Yeats' involvement with it, but the list there shows them to have been a very erudite organization. If I owned just 1/12th of the books in this list, I'd consider myself a very fancy boy, indeed.
On the Nightmare, by Freudian psychoanylist [sp?] Ernest Jones, is a seminal, essential work, absolutely necessary for understanding dreams and their role in society. Before reading this book, I had been satisfied to look askance at the findings/assertions of Freudian psychoanalysis; no more. The books listed here by Jones as sources are likewise a wish-list of arcane literature. Man Into Wolf, by renowned scholar Robert Eisler, is an equally erudite, if not as essential work, dealing with the role of sadism in the human unconscious and society. It is perhaps significant as perhaps the first work (that I know of) to use the phrase "serial killing" (1949).
I did not include all the books mentioned in the lists below, just the ones that seemed most interesting. I apologize in advance for any typing errors in the following lists; I'm not a good typist, ---plus a weird/latent dyslexia seems to have played its part.
