This is just a short little notice, for those who prefer printouts or ebooks compared to reading things strictly on the web:

So, some of you may know that I wrote that 23-post-long series Reviewing the Trithemian Conjuration earlier this summer.  Coming in at close to 100k words, this was a nontrivial thing that—I swear—was only going to be a single post, but things got a little out of hand and there ended up being a bit more I wanted to talk about, and then more, and then more…well, it culminated in a post series that I’m rather proud of having written.

The problem is that not everyone can read things online all that easily, for one reason or another, especially something as lengthy as an informal Ph.D.-level dissertation.  Though I’m reluctant to publish the post series as an actual book (it would need to be rewritten from the ground up, with lots of copyright and usage rights back-and-forths between me and some two dozen other magicians and authors, amongst other reasons), my good friend Dr. Al Cummins proposed the idea of simply compiling all the posts into a single PDF.  I found this pretty fair, and although the task ended up being a bit more complicated and involved than I anticipated, I ended up doing it.  (I actually did this quite a while ago, but I forgot about it and left the file on my computer, for which I apologize.)  I didn’t want to spend too much time on it, so it’s not anything formal or fully polished like I might normally do for my ebooks or publications, but it does satisfy me and stands up well enough on its own.

So, to that end, if you’d like a more print-friendly approach to reading my Reviewing the Trithemian Conjuration blog posts in a single document, you can download the PDF version at this link, and you can also download it from the Books page of my website.  Arguably, “print-friendly” is probably something up for debate; it’s almost 50MB and over 260 pages with lots of images, but at least it’s all self-contained in a single document.  Like the blog posts themselves, this is free to download and read (though donations through Ko-fi for having reformatted it all would certainly be greatly and deeply appreciated if this is something you can make use of).
