Hardcover Book with Gilded Occult Monogram

This is a small, pocket-sized hardcover book featuring a tan or light beige cloth binding with a pronounced woven texture. The primary aesthetic feature is a gold-foil gilded monogram or sigil centered on the front cover. The design incorporates a stylized six-pointed star or hexagram intertwined with an 'O' and other calligraphic elements, suggesting an occult or esoteric theme, often associated with publications like 'Thelema' or 'Ordo Templi Orientis' works. The book has rounded corners on the fore-edge, which is a design choice typically seen in liturgical or ritualistic texts to prevent wear during frequent handling. The binding appears to be modern, likely late 20th to early 21st century, utilizing durable synthetic cloth over rigid boards. In terms of condition, the gold gilding remains bright with minimal fading, though there is a small darker spot or stain just above the right side of the emblem. The spine appears straight and the corners are relatively sharp, indicating the book has been well-preserved or is part of a limited specialty printing. The craftsmanship indicates a high-quality private press production rather than a mass-market trade paperback.
