Seller's Description:
Good. Spine is tight and square, but has some creasing. Former owner stamps to the top edge, first (promotional) leaf, and title page, but interior is else clean and unmarked. Inside covers are heavily toned. Some areas of light creasing and edge-wear to the covers. The rare first paperback edition of this foundational text of LaVeyan Satanism, which according to the diabolic showman's estranged daughter, Zeena Schreck, was written at the urging of Avon Editor in Chief Peter Mayer after LaVey's appearance in Rosemary's Baby (Mayer would again court controversy two decades later when he published another devilish title for Penguin: Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses). LaVey drew from some say plagiarized a variety of sources when piecing together the book, including Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, John Dee's Enochian keys, Ragnar Redbeard's 1890 social Darwinist screed, Might Is Right, and the philosophy of P. T. Barnum. Features the Sigil of Baphomet to the front, a violet-filtered portrait of the author to the back, Draco-inspired dingbats cradling ceremonial initials to each chapter heading, and an intro by LaVey biographer Burton H. Wolfe. 272 pp.
When i picked up this book a couple years ago i was imagining a book filled with animal sacrifices and the evils of Satan. Being an atheist i found that this book would be interesting to read. It does hold some power, i did think about converting to satanism at one point after reading the book. The book is a well written description of how LaVey saw the world and religion. He explains how life is the great indulgence so don't abstain yourself. He explains the rules also to being a satanist. I was very surprised to see that he chose the embodiment of Satan to build the religion to show people that Satan isn't the root of all evil, but instead a figure used by the church to scare people into being christian. It is a fantastic book and a very interesting philosophy i recommend that at least every atheist or Buddhist reads this book.

This book arrived in excellent shape. Not a bit of damage to any part of it. I gave it a rating of 4 stars because I have never read a book like this and have nothing to compare it too. Unlike any christian bible, I can understand anything that is written in "The Satanic Bible". I am looking forward to completing reading the rest of it.
