Summary: One of a kind!
Comment: Most books dealing with magickal Books of Shadows give you very specific information, including spells, to basically copy into a handwritten journal of your own. NOT THIS BOOK! Finally, a comprihensive guide on what to include in your BoS, how to construct it, and how to organize it. Also included are hints to doing your intial research, suggestions to personalizing your BoS (including sending the pages to a book binder), and making your own paper for a special touch that corresponds with each section of your BoS. Great book, highly recommended.

Summary: Pretty Good!
Comment: This book may be generally good when it comes to writing one's own, personal Book of Shadows (spell book, I'd call it, more appropriatly, or book of the mind), but it's true signifigance comes through in its overall wealth of information. Most of its information on SpellBook creation is usefull - but just common sense, but it has so many other great things to it.
This book is loaded with things like animal, food, and beverage correspondces, tips for spell craft, and even how to make your own paper, essential oils, and candles (and more!) It also contains some neat "portable magic" (talismans, amulets, etc.) ideas.
However, as far as actual spellbook material, I didn't get a whooole lot of use out of it. It may've just been me, but it seemed that most of the stuff in there was merely common sense.
Also, as a Kaos Magickian, I was turned off by the fluffy-yuffy wiccan ideals concealed within, but I'll try not to be too biased.... ok, biased or not, let's face it: Patricia Telesco doesn't seem to bright! It would seem appearent that most of her information isn't researched too deeply - back to origins and its true meaning. I do like her friendly writing style, though.
So, conclusion: lots of points for lots of good info, although it may not be very deep. subtract a lil' for not hitting her mark directly on, and for lack of intelegence, and we'll say.... 4 stars. Not a must have, but you get your money's worth by far.

Summary: Nudge nudge nudge in the your direction
Comment: This an extremely helpful book that taps you just enough into designing - developing - giving birth to your own book of shadows. Not pushy, authoritarian, or bossy. Telesco writes as pleasant and friendly as someone you grew up with would address a letter to you. Highly recommended.
