Magick Of Thelema, By Milo Duquette, Any Reviews? Options

93
Someone recently bought me, as a present, The magick of Thelema : a handbook of the rituals of Aleister Crowley by Lon Milo Duquette, hasn't arrived yet and I'm very excited about it, BUT, I would like to know if someone has read this book, is it any good?, what would be the greatest contribution and which are his faults or soft-points?, is there anything in particular that I should stay alert for?

Is it really a comprehensive guide to thelemic magick? (which often becomes confusing to me, with all those rituals and Liber this and Liber that).

I don't know, I guess my basic doubt is, what am I to expect from this book?

I don't know, I guess my basic doubt is, what am I to expect from this book?

I will give this book "one thumb up," but should state clearly that I am not a fan of DuQuette's books and do not endorse his interpretations of Thelema or of the rituals in this book. That said, the book makes good on the title claim, an introduction to Crowley's rituals. If you didn't want to invest in a Crowley library or the "blue brick" edition of Liber ABA, "Magick of Thelema" will give you an idea of whether or not you want to make such an investment better than almost any other book on the market.

and pay special attention to Liber CLXXXV as it contains a student's syllabus.
