5.0 out of 5 stars
A good book on superstition because it doesn't just quote other books...,
By
This review is from: Black Cats, Hoot Owls, and Water Witches: Beliefs, Superstitions, and Sayings from Texas (Paperback)
I've collected books on superstitions my whole life, and although at a numbered 101 pages this is one of the thinner volumes I own I think it's a special one. I say this because all of the beliefs referenced in this book are original and may not exist elsewhere. Often books on this topic reference other books -- this is especially true as superstitions continue to rapidly disappear from America. However this book lists each superstition with a name and location from whence it came, and for this reason I think this book, published in 1989 is one of the few written on the topic recently with some truly original material in it.
