The Spirit Book: The Encyclopedia of Clairvoyance, Channeling, and Spirit Communication
Buckland, who is prominent in Spiritualist circles, has provided a basic, readable encyclopedia of major terms, people, and events in modern Spiritualism. It is written by a believer for believers, and skeptics will not find much in it. The skeptical organization the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal gets one brief, unflattering reference in the introduction. Believers, and those curious about specific terms, practices, or people, will find this work helpful and informative.Some 500 entries range from short paragraphs to a page or two, and each entry includes a list of sources, often other works by Buckland. Examples of entries include Astral projection; MacLaine, Shirley; Near death experiences; Nostradamus; Seance; and Tarot cards. Boldface terms have their own articles within the dictionary-format text. The index is detailed. The chapter on "Resources" includes both print resources and online sites. Illustrations include both photographs and drawings that should reproduce well, and the writing is accessible without being overly casual.


Review by Tera Owens 
Raymond Buckland has done it once again this wonderful encyclopedia. The information is clear and concise and organized in a way that it is quite simple to locate any specific topic you may be delving into. I would not consider this a book to sit down and read from cover to cover, it is as stated, an encyclopedia and therefore is better used as an encylopedia. Not to mention the fact that as an encyclopedia it is written as fact and I for one find it to be enlightening. I highly recommend this book as a plethora of vital information regarding it's well descriptive title. Excellent. Kudos once again to Raymond Buckland.
