While this may be the perfect book for beginners, it is not a book for those who have been studying more than a year or so. If you consider yourself already well-read, or a bibliophile, this book is a waste of money. It didn't list half the books I already own or have read, and the ones it did mention were books I wouldn't recommend to anyone But a newbie, and then only if they were studying Wicca. Like most new Pagan books, there was an almost overwhelming bias toward Wicca over any other path.This was an extreme disappointment, and I hope no one else will be taken in by the title.
