5.0 out of 5 stars The only astrology book you'll ever need., April 4, 1999

By A Customer

The A-Z Horoscope Maker book has all the information you need to become a proficeint astrologer. This is a book you will use as a reference for your whole career. It was written in 1910, back when must astrologers had a darker outlook. This book does has a doom and gloom feel to it with the harsh interpretations and meaning. The moderen astrologer knows to modify the pessimistic meanings and look on the brigher side of things. A total understanding of this book will make you into a confident astrologer after following the examples in the A-Z book. This is one of the few books that teach you how to read a chart and what it all means. For the $15 price, this book will be a constant lifetime companion, I think of it as one of the bibles for astrologers. This book is the real deal,no sun sign cheese or generalizations here. This book contains the precise calculations and math formulas needed to do charts by hand, something that many moderen astrologers have forgotten. If you want to become an astrologer you'll need this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Star Light -- Star Bright !, August 9, 2001

By	WAY2GO (Greece) - See all my reviews

One of the best books on the subject. Something for every level of knowledge. Admittedly more informative to beginners because of the extremely simple way the information is set up. There are literally thousands of delineations to choose from as you learn A-L-L about Astrology. You can literally open the book cover and go from complete ignorance to almost expert long before reaching the other cover. There is VERY little "fat" or nonsense in this book. It's the Joe Friday of Astrology books: "Just the facts Ma'am!"

The only reason for one to buy any other book would be to further the exploration of all you may glean from reading this one. An expert may want more wordy dissertation about any of the hundreds of astrological subjects introduced to the reader. But, that is what makes this ideal for beginners and intermediate astrologers. Those who want to de-mystify the mumbo jumbo they usually hear from those in the know would do well to drink from this fountain first. They will be amazed at how much sheer knowledge is shared on every page. And, it is all crystal clear but concise and to the point. You can't go wrong with this one!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the real Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need, February 5, 2002

By	"firerizing" (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews

Llewellyn has made a living from publishing books that are pertinent to the field of astrology and tarot, and this book is no different. This is every astrologer or wanna-be astrologer's must have! I keep it right next to my Devore Encyclopedia on my desk. Written in almost a dictionary-esque format, this book gives the reader simple and informative answers to every possible word associated with astrology. Combine that with a wonderful step by step lesson in learning astrology...this is truly the only astrology book you'll ever need.
