There are some books and subjects I want physical copies of in my library to flip through directly rather than to scroll in digital formats which can be tedious but otherwise at times helpful for the Search function to search out instances of words.
Please list all the books you would like to purchase or gain physical copies of.
Also please remember to continue to visit and use my threads even if they are old.
Books you & I want physical copies of!

Re: Books you & I want physical copies of!
Whatever you say I will probably get it as well, can you list your reasons or interest as well?
Sometimes I want physical copies in order to flip it opened anywhere and see what it says.
Most of what I want are books of transliterated text to study and parse words from which seems a little difficult through PDF files.
I also want copies of certain Classics, I may actually have the copies as it is though but would look at the prices of some specifics.
A major one in that case is Dante's Divine Comedy but I want an explanation in detail as well since it has lots of stuff going on in it that might be lost to a non historical reader. I want full analysis or multiple.
The problem is books can be so crazy expensive, anything really expensive will be skipped.
I want books of names and entities I can use in my own work in some ways, so encyclopedias, dictionaries, glossaries, explanitory books of symbols and symbolism from various things known as elements or art elements and icons.
I won't be getting dissertation or thesis type texts of so and so's ideas, but may get Complete Works of Sets with analysis and explanations of some very specific people that have to do with certain themes, luckily there aren't very many. There are certain people I skip who are extremely famous and influential but not actually possessing the spiritual content or directions helpful to my work or art. For example Plato is extremely important to me but Aristotle is not even though he has had a massive influence. Heraclitus and Pythagoras are of great importance, but others again are not.
Freemasonry and Thelema are of great importance to me as well as Templar and Witchcraft lore, but Manly P. Hall and Wicca are not so much. H.P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith are of some importance to me along with Robert E. Howard and Rudyard Kipling, but then there are numerous authors that have produced work which is similar but not quite hitting the right spots, sometimes even their predecessors.
