2.0 out of 5 stars This Book Was Not to My Taste. Other People Might Enjoy it., October 23, 2010
By 
This is no mere collection of information for the lay reader, but a comprehensive encyclopaedia of knowledge relating to magic, occultism and parapsychology. It is set up, like any other encyclopaedia, with subjects in alphabetical order and cross-referenced with other relevant entries. This is definitely not a cover-to-cover kind of book, but one to have sitting on the shelf to reference when reading other books on the subjects covered.

My only complaint is that, being published in 1974, much of the information is rather dated. While this book is still useful to some extent, I would recommend sourcing more recent volumes if you have more than a passing fancy.
