Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a fantastic book especially if you are looking from a historical perspecive. The book is very intellegently written, and it is very apparent the author spent a great deal of time researching the work. This is not just another rehash as so many other books are. Highly reccommended for any magicians library.
