All of the material you have access to here — the historical information researched and shared from the mind of the woman who is making it all happen — can easily fit into one 8 x 10 foot room in an old Victorian farmhouse, but you would never see it without the investment of the time it takes to produce such a site and the caloric input such a site requires in the form of food for the writer, graphic designer, and database manager, as well as the US currency needed to pay for the computers, software applications, scanners, electricity, and internet connectivity that bring it out of that little room and into the world. So, as you can see, this site is the darling of many, and it is growing at a rapid rate ... but although it is "free," there also is a cost. Your financial support underwrites this cost.
Each new web page or sample pdf is circulated to Patrons as an unpublished galley proof or advance copy. After one year access for Patrons, each web page will be released to the public, while book pages will be available to the public as printed books, and copies will be sent to Patrons who subscribe at the upper two tiers.
Patrons have access to a Private Patreon sub-forum within the Lucky Mojo Forum, and will be accorded special Red Star Avatar badges at the Forum.

Bacon, Axel Wayne. Hypnotism: Course of 17 Practical Self-Study Lessons on Hypnotic Power, How To Develop It and How To Use It. Nelson-Hall Inc., 1945. Various editions, both paperback and hardcover with dustjacket. Rep. 1949. Rep. 1959. Rep. 1960 i-xxiiii + 8-266 pages (282 pages). Paperback and hardcover. Line-art illustrations on pages 161, 171, 211, 217, and 245. I have acquired and viewed several editions of this book, and the chief difference i have found between them is in the weight of the paper; the hardcover editions use the same illustration on their dust-jackets that the paperbacks use on their covers. The 1945 Nelson-Hall edition, the earliest date for which the publisher claims copyright, contains a reference on page 15 to "our waning nineteenth century," and the pen-and-ink illustrations depict people in clothing of the late 1920s or early 1930s at the latest, so it is obvious that 1949 is not the original publication date. All that aside, this is an excellent introduction to hypnotism, highly recommended. It went through so many editions that it is easily found in the used book market, and it should be in everyone's hypnotism library, if only for its exciting cover art, which really puts the viewer in a magnetized mood. |
