| Llewellyn's Complete Book of Ceremonial Magick. Edited by Lon Milo Duquette and David Shoemaker |
Llewellyn published this book earlier this year. It is a scholarly 500-page overview of the western mystery tradition, everything from Qabalah and alchemy to the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley. I started flipping through when it first arrived last week, but soon made the decision to read it cover to cover. Very impressive.
The limited edition hardcover retails for 75 bucks and is signed by the editors, Lon Milo DuQuette and David Shoemaker. There's also a paperback version available for about half that price.
