"Scientology 0-8" is not a beginner's book. It's not a book to read cover to cover. Instead it's a reference book that complements the other books. I'm not a scientologist, but I find the book very helpful when studying the subject, especially the new 2007 edition, which is almost 500 pages (compared to about 150 pages in the 1970 edition I got from the library). The new edition makes it easy to follow how the concepts evolved. There are seven versions of the emotional tone scale, eight descriptions of the dynamics, ten versions of the auditor's code, etc. So if you're studying Scientology, whether as a scientologist or just out of curiosity, this book, and the 2007 edition in particular, is a very good reference book.

This book is a compendium of Scientology tech and wisdom (or as Scientology calls it "data"). It's kind of an all-in-one book. It covers the Aims of Scientology, the Dianetic Equations, Logics, and Axioms, the Tone Scale, the Creed of Scientology, and about 252 pages of charts. It includes the Auditor's Code, Supervisor's Code, Instructor's Code, and the Scientologist's Code. These Codes deal with Scientology and Dianetic training (or being "on course"). If you want information on Scientology, you'll likely find it here.

Real simple: if you want the basics of life, here they are. I know "the basics of life" may not mean much to you ... this is a definition of what "life" is, of what a living being is, a definition of a living being's abilities. It is what men of wisdom have sought for ages.

this is a good read if you aren't already familiar with the concepts of Dianetics & Scientology. Would also encourage the reader to read Fundamentals of Thought and Evolution of a Science as well by L. Ron Hubbard for continued study.

This is a book to not only read cover to cover, but to keep handy as reference to aid day-to-day living. It can be understood on various levels at different times... I first read it many years ago, but I keep discovering "new" things in it.
