Book orders and more fun

[trystinn]

As folks can imagine, the bookstore has been inundated with customers during the holiday time - all folks looking for books, CDs, anything that can be crammed into a stocking and literally, just about anything not nailed down. I've gotten three folks interested in buying our holiday train, for Gods' sake! Not to mention our totem pole (two requests) and our store bird, Poomba!

So to amuse myself during the slow periods, I've been wracking my brain for new and highly recommended occult texts to order for our own library. Now, obviously, I'm not going to post the contents of our library - but what's on your "must buy" list that you'd recommend to me?

Even though Capall Bann is becoming the Llewellyn of Britain, it's always nice to have a healthy selection of their stuff in your collection (at least it's different fluff.) They have a few good Ogham books, plus Call of the Horned Piper, Masks of Misrule (both by Nigel Aldcroft Jackson), plus the Cochrane stuff. It's useful to have that around. Of course, you'll already have Gardner's books available. I also enjoy reading Patricia Crowther's books. She honestly cracks me up. Philip Heselton is enjoyable, too, although some Gards are starting to grumble that he reveals too much.

Of course, young Tradder, I'm sure there's nothing on my list you haven't thought of.

Very cool - well, honestly, I don't believe I have any Capall Bann, but I'd like to. Yep, I have all the published Gardner books, including the one we don't talk about! *WEG*

And yes, Crowther is a hoot! Heselton is fabulous, we're reviewing his "Wiccan Roots" over on Wi_LD. Can't remember if you're on Wi_LD or not, sorry!

Thank you - *zen hugs*
