The book's quality is better than I expected, especially since I thought I'd ordered a paperback. It looks like it doesn't come in paperback, so that was my mistake. But, I don't mind. Now that I have it in hand, even if there was paperback, I don't think I'd want to trade this copy in.
The book arrived on time and in good condition.
The subject matter is sometimes a bit dense for me, and I am often forced to re-read passages several times in order to better understand them. That's not a complaint about the translation or the notes, though. The translation and notes are as clear as possible, considering, and I am really enjoying the mental gymnastics this text sometimes requires.
I wanted something that would challenge me to think in alternate ways. This text fits the bill perfectly for me.

An Essential Work of 19th-Century French Occultism from the Leading Intellectual of the Era
Available in English for the First Time
One of the most important books in the modern history of occultism, Papus's Elementary Treatise of Occult Science helped establish the shape of occult thinking and practice for decades...and its legacy as a source of spiritual philosophy continues today. Never before published in English, this work explores a fascinating interpretation of the history of the world and develops a powerful approach to decoding esoteric symbolism, a crucial skill for contemporary occultists. Papus also provides a stunning analysis of ancient mysteries, including Hermeticism, astrology, magic, alchemy, theosophy, signification of numbers, the astral plane, sacred geometry, Kabbalah, the tetragrammaton, the pyramids, and much more. This premium hardcover edition introduces the contemporary occultist to the ideas of one of history's most profound metaphysical thinkers.

| Also by John Michael Greer: | Not just a cookbook of spells, the Encyclopedia of Natural Magic provides an introduction to the philosophy and ways of thought underlying this system. | From "Aarab Zereq" to "Zos Kia Cultus," this is the most up-to-date, comprehensive guide to the history, philosophies, and personalities of Western occultism. | With added illustrations, a twenty-page color insert, additional original material, and refreshed design and typography, this powerful work returns to its true stature as a modern masterpiece. | In The Secret of the Temple, John Michael Greer painstakingly rebuilds a body of lost knowledge that has been used to accumulate and direct energy throughout history, and can be used again today. | Respected occult author and Grand Archdruid John Michael Greer has re-created a complete magical system based on the Celtic Golden Dawn traditions. |
