    Hi Martin,

    In Feb/March 2003, A friend and I tried to track down the status of
    the book. We contacted the publisher and even the author. Here's the
    relative email trail. Perhaps you could contact the author and let us
    know if the plan still stands and how soon it will be re-printed.
    Thanks in advance,
    antiloop1111

    Subject: Availability of a book

    Hello Kathy,
    I'm inquiring about the following book:

    Paths of Wisdom: The Magical Cabala in the Western Tradition
    (Llewellyn's High Magick Series)
    by John Michael Greer

    o Paperback: 416 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.25 x 9.25 x
    6.25

    o Publisher: Llewellyn Publications; (July 1996)

    o ASIN: 1567183158

    I've been searching high and low for Mr. Greer's book, Paths of
    Wisdom. All I've been able to determine is that a new copy was once
    available for $16.95 (US) and now all I can manage is a used copy for
    $69.99. I understand that it is no longer in print. I'd simply like
    to know: 1) if there are plans for a reprint at any point in the near
    future, and 2) if you know of a source where I might be able to get a
    new copy for a reasonable price now? From everything I've heard,
    it's a fantastic book. It's recommended above even Dion
    Fortune's "Mystical Qabalah" for clarity, understanding, and
    comprehensiveness. Thank-you...

    Subject: Paths of Wisdom

    Dear (Sir)

    Thanks for your note. _Paths of Wisdom_ has been out of print for just
    over a year now, and I know a lot of people have been trying to get
    copies. I wish I had a private stash to sell, but no such luck. The
    rights will revert to me in February of 2004. I've already discussed a
    reprint with another publisher, and once I get the rights back it
    should be available pretty quickly, but there's that unavoidable
    delay!

    I plan on expanding the book a little, putting in material on aspects
    of Cabalistic theory and practice that were over my head in 1994-5
    (when the original was written). So I hope it will be worth the wait.

    Best,

    John Michael Greer
