  1. This looks like a fascinating book! I wish I could afford the well-worth-it hardback edition. I hope Tartarus Press is sustainably healthy for years to come - what they and presses like Pegana are doing is a very worthwhile endeavor. I'm not an e-book reader, but I'll have to make an exception and download this very interesting book!

  2. Another not-to-be-resisted volume from Mark and Tartarus.

    1. You're very right - I checked out his other books - they are 100% catnip for cats who like Wormwoodiana and the blogroll to the right. I wish I were a wealthy philanthropist and book collector who could sit in an overstuffed chair all night before a roaring fireplace in a fez and smoking jacket and read from a stack of his books (and books from the authors he writes about.)
