The first copies of The Occult Reliquary have now arrived and we are packaging orders. Standard cloth editions are now beginning to ship, with deluxe and special edition copies going out toward week's end. We expect shipment to proceed well into the first week of August, so we entreat our good patrons for a few more days of patience.

We are duty-bound to inform our customers that, owing to the Promethean nature of the task, as well as the exacting nature of the spirits attending, the long-awaited book Occult Reliquary has been delayed until the first week of July. We appreciate your patience and good faith as we finalise this momentous volume, and are more than confident it will exceed expectation and cement the Collection's place in Western Occultism for perpetuity.

Response to Andrew D. Chumbley's Opuscula Magica Vol. I from all quarters has been very positive, and both standard and deluxe hardcovers are expected to sell out imminently. The coming-forth of this book is a critical milestone in the wider presentation of Chumbley's shorter, non-grimoric works; at least four other volumes in the series are scheduled for the near future. Thanks to all who have sent us well-wishes for the release of this important work.

Three Hands Press author Robert Fitzgerald will be presenting a talk entitled "The Devil in Print and in Person" at the Esoteric Book Conference in Seattle this September. Also present will be Dale Pendell, with a presentation entitled "Orpheus, Faust, Eve: Shamanism in the Western Tradition". For those new Three Hands Press subscribers who missed Pendell's The Language of Birds in January, we have a small number of hardcover copies remaining.

Our North American distributor, J.D. Holmes, as well as two of our retail affiliates, Michael J. Thompson and Night of Pan will also be at the Conference. Those seeking rare or out-of print-volumes from Xoanon Publishing or Three Hands Press may wish to investigate the offerings of these book vendors.

Customers anticipating the release of The Occult Reliquary are advised that, due to the intricacies of production, the book has been delayed until late May, 2010. However, a number of design additions have been made to the work which will increase its fascinum, including photographs of Eldermans fetish objects by John Hooper, and the addition of extra colour plates.

Opuscula Magica Vol. 1 by Andrew Chumbley is now in the final stages of production and will be released mid-April 2010, on schedule. Our clients have inundated us with well-wishes and enthusiasm for this project, and we wish to thank them for their kind words. Successive volumes in the series will be released at regular intervals.

Standard hardcover and deluxe editions of Dale Pendell’s The Language of Birds have now been released and shipped. Though the deluxe copies are long gone, we still have a small quantity of the limited edition standard hardcover. A last-minute decision to print letterpress dust jackets for this edition adds a veil of rarity to the text’s poetic cipher of the Goddess Fortuna, even as she is unveiled to the eyes of the Beholder. Recent reviews of the work can be read at Dreamflesh and Earthrites.org. Three Hands has also just announced the Opuscula Magica series, treating the collected ‘minor works of magic’ by Andrew Chumbley. For more information go here.
