This is one of the best books about magick and the occult that I've ever read. It helps a person see what a "real" magician is like. It often seems like a person is surrounded by legends and mystics that are far beyond our grasp. Lon shows that we are all human, fallible, and that the most
Past all that, this book really helped my sister to understand what a ceremonial magician is and helped her to understand me and my Path better.

Think of this as "Chicken Soup for the Occultist's Soul". Ok, not quite... But it really is the closest thing we have to 'inspirational material' in magic. I consider this to be one of the most important books for a beginning magicians to read. Just be warned of the Thelemic bias. ;-)

A hilarious and informative biography of a modern magic worker. I'm a bit biased, as I was able to spend 4 days with the author, picking his brain about magical topics. However, I think LMD has done much to make Magic accessible to the modern Reader.
