About the author
It’s a photocopy
The book by Cashford is wonderful. But this copy is rubbish: it’s printed on a Xerox and bound with the cheapest possible glue and flimsiest paper cover. This seller should be barred.

To get the negative out of the way: I would have happily given this book a well deserved 5-stars if only it wasn't let down by the shoddy printing. The text is both terribly small and terribly artifacted: you can see how bad it is in the image I've provided. I've got good close eyesight but even I have to take a break every once in a while lest I get a headache. Luckily this is a great book to write in and highlighters won't bleed through the other page, so that's a plus.
With that negativity out of the way: this is a great book. It's extremely comprehensive and well researched. The author skillfully works in philosophy with factual evidence and makes many compelling arguments. If you're interested in researching early mythology of the moon or attitudes towards the moon then I can't think of a finer text to read. It's also very thorough. I appreciated the depth and breadth the author covered in its near 400 pages of text.
I also enjoyed how many textual examples the author used to illustrate her points. This was a very enjoyable read as it's a well crafted work with lots of research and intelligence put behind it.
Despite the horrible printing job, I really regret buying the soft cover and not the hardcover copy. I can see myself referencing this a lot for my own research.
Overall an incredible piece of work let down by its shoddy printing.
