Philosophy & Religion Spirituality & New Age History
Hans Holzer’s Encyclopaedia Of Witchcraft & Demonology is a sought-after 1974 first-edition hardcover that surveys centuries of spells, rituals, and demon lore. Illustrated pages and a vivid dust jacket make this Octopus release a striking shelf piece for collectors of occult, folklore, and paranormal titles.
Inside, the binding is tight and the textblock is bright; the only flaws are a bumped lower edge, light corner rub on the front paper, and tiny top-edge chips to the first few leaves—typical shelf wear for a vintage book that has never seen smoke. The jacket is present and protected, preserving the 1970s artwork.
Perfect for young-adult or adult readers curious about magick, satanic panics, and ghost stories, this encyclopedia doubles as a reference for artists and writers mining witchcraft history. A clean copy from a smoke-free home, ready to haunt your library without library marks or inscriptions.
