As with all of this series, useful and worth having (though they are expensive as these things go). Very useful. And the picture showing here is NOT for this volume, but for the previous one.

Local notes
PHS - Part of the Witchcraft & Magic in Europe series. Critical Comments: Heathenism is listed as a subset of Satanism (!?) ISBN on back of book is the same as for vol 5, the 18th and 19th Centuries so book design was not updated for this volume.
