Well done

For anyone interested in learning more about the magic arts or anything along those lines then this is good place to start. It is a fountain of information that will leave you wanting more. It is well put together and well illustrated. Lots of history too. The book was a pleasure to read. I will be on the look out for more books by these authors.

Really Nice BOok!

I picked up this book after seeing it and i first thought it was going to be a silly Harry Potter clone, but i was surprised!This is a really good book covering alot of topics in a concese way. It is easy to read and understand and is just beutiful to look at also. It covers many of the topics of wizardy without going into the whole witchcraft thing too much. It also talks about like many of the anicent wise men also like Soloman. If u r looking for a book on WIZARDRY and not witchcraft then this is a good start.

Great Book!

This a a good begginers only guide covering many topics in the field of Witchcraft. Tells about famous wizards and secret societies and helps you on your way to mastery of the Art. A great glossary at the end is a big help. I recommend it.
