Summary: Very thorough modern translation of an ancient text
Comment: This book contains mostly a list of spiritual beings: the 72 goetia spirits (the daemons); spirits that control direction from the compass point; and also angels of different times and star signs.
The first part (the Goetia) gives a detailed process of the summoning of these spiritual beings.
The book is very thorough with all the names and seals present, however I also recommend reading a text such as the 'Grimoirium Verum' alongside this, as it is very helpful with some of the finer points.

Summary: read it twice!
Comment: This book is loaded with alot of ancient ways to summon demons
and devils. I found it hard to understand until I read it a couple of times before it sank in. I dont summon demons because its to risky and I dont want a poltergeist in my home, but for someone brave enough, I say go for it. I highly recommened this book for the one who dare uses it.

Summary: Complete Lemegeton, essential, but not for beginners.
Comment: I give this book five stars because it is THE Lemegeton at it's most complete: all four books ('Ars Notoria' is not included), with every seal, spirit, conjuration, etc. included. As such it's an invaluable reference for any magician interested in Goetic evokation.
However, it is not a book I'd recommend for persons just getting started with Goetic magick. For that, I would recommend Weiser's _Goetia_. Persons interested in a more 'modernized' method might want to try _The Illustrated Goetia_. I don't recommend Savedow's books on the subject, as I didn't find them very useful.
Lemegeton is divided into four parts. The first part is the Goetia, and this is what modern magicians are most interested in. The Goetia is a book detailing the method of conjuring each of 72 demons. Much work has been done in the last century drawing correspondences between these demons and the tarot, astrology, and the 72 names of God, among other things. In each case, these demons (and the vices they represent) are the leftovers of the process necessary to create a virtue (think of leftover coffee grounds for coffee). One evokes these demons in order to learn how to control the vice, in order that one may fully embrace the virtue.
The second part is Theurgia Goetia, which deals with spirits of the directions of the compass and with "wandering dukes" that have no direction. These would be spirits of the living world, in the Elizabethan system neither demonic nor angelic, although in modern terms definitely stuck somewhere between Malkuth and Yesod.
The third part is the Pauline Art, which deals with *celestial* angels that command specific hours of the day and to the zodiac. There is also an evokation of the Holy Guardian Angel. The instructions of this section are rather detailed, although the HGA working is not as detailed as in Abramelin.
The fourth part is the Almadel, which explains the process by which Solomon gained the wisdom to rule. I'm not sure what these entities are supposed to represent, but I know there's a correspondence between them and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
