This review is from: Cauldron of the Gods: a manual of Celtic magick (Paperback)

I agree this is a good book but I do have one problem. I hate to be picky but given the cost of books these days (especially this one), I will point out any bad, or flat out non-existent, editing. Though there are not too many, there a few typos and yes, even a few can ruin a good book.

I know decent editing these days is clearly a bygone idea of the past. That needs to change. It not only underscores how bad publishing companies have gotten but again, it makes the author look really bad. Those who self publish need to be extra careful themselves or risk losing customers. It is not easy making a living at writing books as it is.

Nice collection of history and good ideas if you can look past the usual bad editing on someone's part. Publishing companies and self-publishers can do better. After all, we paid for it.
