Title is misleading,

This review is from: 101 Things You Didn't Know About The Freemasons: Rites, Rituals, and the Ripper-All You Need to Know About This Secret Society! (Paperback)
From the name of the book, I was expecting a list of 101 different facts about the Freemasons. It's actually a well written book covering the history and controversy of the masons.
If you want to know the complete details of what is inside, just check the reviews for "The Everything Freemasons Book" because both of these books are one in the same. If you look inside the cover of this book it states "portions of material adapted or abridged" from the above mentioned book. It actually is the same book. I don't understand why the same book was published under two titles by the same company, unless you figure it's another way to pull in a few bucks. That said, if you want to get one of these books, I would recommend this one since it is five dollars cheaper and smaller if you want to take it somewhere.

This review is from: 101 Things You Didn't Know About The Freemasons: Rites, Rituals, and the Ripper-All You Need to Know About This Secret Society! (Paperback)
This is a book you could easily give someone who has been curious about Freemasonry but who might easily be put off being handed a 'Dummies' or 'Idiots' book. It's very compact (6 1/4" tall by 5 1/2" wide) and fits easily in a car's glove compartment or a suit pocket. For the price, it's inexpensive enough that you won't mind losing a few in the process. The topics are basically free-standing so it can be picked up and put down at a whim. It has a positive view about Freemasonry but it also notes the warts and pimples of time. Grab a copy: you won't be disappointed!

This review is from: 101 Things You Didn't Know About The Freemasons: Rites, Rituals, and the Ripper-All You Need to Know About This Secret Society! (Paperback)
I admit there is a lot of nuts and bolts basic information here but it reads like something the Masons released themselves. There is almost nothing controversial. All suspicious and sinister activitees are dismissed or given lame explanations. The 'G' in their symbol stands for 'Geometry'? Give me a break. It felt like I was reading some kind of recruitment manuel.
