Sobre este artículo
London: The Aquarian Press, 1962. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/fair. First Edition. Hardcover. A first printing of the first published work of the "Mother of Modern Witchcraft" Doreen Valiente and "one of the first three books to be published on the subject" of Wicca according to historian Ronald Hutton. In Where Witchcraft Lives, Valiente presents her original research into the history and folklore of witchcraft in her home county of Sussex. Valiente served as the High Priestess of Gerald Gardner's Bricket Wood coven and wrote a great deal of the early religious liturgy within the Gardnerian Wiccan tradition.
7 1/2" X 5 1/8". xi, 7-112pp. Presents nicely in archival sleeved dust jacket. Heavy wear to price-clipped dust jacket, with 1" X 3" open tear to bottom edge of front panel, 1/4" loss to head of spine, small tears to edges and corners, rubbing to edges, dust soiling, and scattered rubbing. Bound in pale blue cloth over boards, with spine lettered in gilt. Mild wear to binding, with some dust soiling and sunning to edges and slight lean to spine. Bookseller's ticket of Samuel Weiser to front pastedown. Binding is firm and sound. Pages are clean and unmarked. A presentable first printing, in admittedly worn but present dust jacket, of one of the first three books ever published about Wicca.

Sobre Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
