Summary: Great book, ahead of its time
Comment: This book was totally ahead of its time. Even though it was written over 30 years ago it still reads as fresh as any other written today. It goes through all the myths of golf and gives reasoned and sound arguments why they are bad advice. Remarkably the same myths still apply to the ones that Dante described some 30 years ago!
The book then goes on to describe the "magic moves". The book has the best description of how the wrists should be used in the swing that I have read.
The only slight concern that I have with the book is concerned with the hips at the start of the downswing. I think it is possible that the reader may (as I did at first) overuse the hips. There is a drill in the book "The LAWS of golf" that enables the reader to perform the movements that this book describes. Therefore I would suggest that this book should be bought along with "The LAWS of Golf".

Summary: Dante's "Magic" is teaching new tricks to old dogs.
Comment: I went from a 3 handicap in high school to what G.P.Wodehouse describes as a "goof". When I couldn't play every day my game went to pot. I had never developed a solid swing that I could repeat time after time, I was clueless. I am now 41 years old and this book changed my life. Well, my golf life at least. I love the game again. Joe Dante teaches the "magic moves" in a way even I can understand and I'm a hardheaded old dog to whom new tricks are hard to teach.
The key to golf is delivering the club head to the ball square to the target (accuracy) while generating maximum club head speed (distance). Dante's early wrist break method is the key to consistent accuracy. His lateral hip shift is no secret to golf but it is the key to clubhead speed. The magic is that Dante teaches these moves in such a clear and concise way that, if you follow directions and practice his method, you will improve your golf swing and scores!

Summary: Out with the trash and in with the truth!
Comment: This book is a masterpiece. Dante et al begins by dispelling a multitude of golf's most common misconceptions and maligning advice. Each myth is expounded upon nicely so that there are no doubts as to why these time-tested pearls are mostly or dead wrong. This whole first section cleans the slate so that you're primed for the real matter.
The manner in which this book is written and illustrated are first class. I've never read a golf book more descriptive, concise and correct! The reading is easy and the instruction intelligent and bold. There will be no doubt in your mind on how the swing should be conducted. Don't be dissuaded by original date of publishing... as stated above, it is timeless.
If you're looking for a profound book that's not overly technical, easily understood, true and tested, this is it!
