The Gates Of The Necronomicom, What did you think of this book? Options

Hello All,
I've recently read the newest book book by Simon. I suppose its a good source of information when it talks about Gate walking; even providing Daoist views of that. Its gives a quick crash course in Ancient civilizations and a unique view of the Big Dipper in reference to the Necronomicom. It gives dates and times perfect for Gate Walking so those interested in such will have a good resource.
Now for all the praise I just gave the book here comes the pain. I didn't like it. The reason I didn't like it is because It didn't give me what I was hoping for. I'm a ceremonial magician and I do rever and respect the Elder Gods, But I'm not a priest by any means. So when I picked up this volume, I had hoped that this text would be somewhat like a grimoire and its not. So thats what I think of the Book. What do you think?

I agree Edunpanna that there binds in there to distract some people from using it, but I think it was done in the wrong context. First of all, this was a book aimed at demystifying the Necronomicon. To actually add another layer of complexity is not really helpful even for serious people. Furthermore, there seems to be a bias against the Eldar Gods and I felt Simon was almost moving towards the Ancient Ones in a couple of points. Why would he do this if the goal of the blinds is protection against misuse? It just left me a bit puzzled, although other parts do the book did really help me with organisation, as the original Necronomicon was not (for me at least) well organised.
