You see a black hardcover book. depicted on the cover in gold and silver leaf are some symbols depicting a large tree topped with three stars. The roots of the tree descend into a circular motif supported by two white wings flaring out to the side and you also see four legs, as if the design was in fact an object that existed somewhere and this an artists drawing. Inside the circle is are some runes you cannot read. Underneath all this is a circle that looks like a chain with a ring suspended from it.

As you turn the marbled end pages you note that this book is in near mint condition. Someone has taken very great care of it. Naturally being interested in such things, you note that the paper is extremely thin, like that of a bible, indeed this sacred book was printed in 1978 and is the sixth impression of this title. As you begin to read, you wonder that it was so cheap several years ago yet now, since there is alot of attention being paid this book, you wonder what it is worth and if you could ever part with such a treasure.
