Comments: Eastern philosophy; Yoga; Qabalist; Rosicrucian ; Theosophy; while not a huckster, and the Yogi Publications are very handsome hard covers well worth their price, his constant use of pseudonyms to fill out his Authors is reminiscent of some other publishing houses which owned a house name under which multiple authors wrote books, starting in the late 1800s. Most of these books, or pamphlets, were cheap, poorly printed, and advertised in comics, mens magazines and Occult monthlies. Such names as Sepharial, Cheiro, Raphael controlled by smart business men like Henri Gamache and William De Laurence disregarded copyrights and author royalties in search of more money for less. Even H. Spencer Lewis, the 1st Imperator of the Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC), made his fortune in this shadow advertising world. Eventually, the estates of these publishers sold the rights to their invented authors, and they are still used today in weekly magazines sold at the supermarket.
