Welcome to Yahoo! Answers.
Curiously, the book you describe was reissued in paperback in 2004. Three copies of the 1934 edition you have are listed by dealers in
abebooks.com
at this time (11.13.2006). The price ranges from $225 to $450. Here is a description of one copy (priced $263.20, available in a bookstore in Brooklyn, NY):
"Falstaff Press., 1934. Hardcover. Book Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION Tall Octavo. xix, 274 plus a 'Cabinet' of over 30 unusual illustrations printed in purple Original publisher's smooth purple linen cloth, elaborately gilt with Beardsley designs FINE * FIRST EDITION, preferred limited issue in the elaborate publisher's cloth binding (100 copies were issued in a parchment binding; these are now invariably split). An unusual and highly curious work on Eroto-Mystic Perversions, Sexual Symbols and Dreams, Satanism, Incubi & Succubi, Witch's Sabbath, Black Mass and Orgies, Sex Enchantments, and much more. With chapters on such topics such as: Sex in the World of Magic, Magic Drinks -- Magic Invocations, Magic Aphrodisiacs and Mystic Philosophy of Copulation Through the Ages. FINE COPY, rare thus."
This is indeed a rare book--and apparently a strange one.
