Title: De Camp looks at magic
Review: If, like me, you're a pretty thoroughgoing skeptic about magic, spirits and all of that, this is the book for you. In it, the De Camps give a quick overview of magic, alchemy, and ghosts, along with related subjects. The word-portraits of such luminaries as Madame Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley and Mary Baker Eddy, conjoned with extracts from their writings, are alone worth the price of the book.De Camp's name on a book ensures lively, well-written prose, backed up with solid research. About the only quibble I have is that there are a few minor errors in the account of the Salem witch trials.
