Best book on the subject, I've found so far. Everything you need to know, and some stuff you didn't need to know but is still useful. I think if you had ONLY this book to work from, you'd be fine.
I really enjoyed this book. To be fair, I'm a crazy herb lady, and I have a weakness for encyclopedias. That's how this book is structured. It's to the point, and if you were interested in herbs and hoodoo, I would recommend this.
Excellent resource. This is one of the better books on divination I've read. She covers many variations of tossing the bones, some history, a lot of how-to, some philosophy, and all in a small book.
Contains the excellent Alex Toth tribute to Russ Manning - "Taps". As far as i know never reprinted.
