A Dictionary of Angels: Including the Fallen Angels by Gustav Davidson
Christopher loaned this to someone and never got it back. I used to drag it out when watching movies that had angels in them to see if they were using a Biblical reference or if they'd just made the character up.
A bit confusing, the same angel has so many names and duties and titles and then some of the jobs are attributed to others. Looked at from the point of view of a non-theist, it is interesting how the human race has created this huge pantheon of imaginary creatures to worship or fear.

I used to carry this book around with me. It's just endlessly pleasing. A great reference book.
