I was just browsing through Barnes & Noble online and made a list of titles that looked interesting. Their reviews all looked good, but since I'm fairly new at this, I'm probably over my head trying to figure which ones are worth buying. My question to you is: Which of these books are useful? Also: Which of these books are of the "fluffy bunny" variety?
  • Spells for the Solitary Witch (Eileen Holland)
  • Witch's Box of Magickal Protection (Gilly Sergiev)
  • Magic... the Simple Truth: Alchemy for Today's World - the Real Magic Course (Sylvia Bennett)
  • The Witch and Wizard Spellbook (Sirona Knight)
  • The Wizard's Book of Spells (Beatrice Phillpotts)
  • Kitchen Witchery: A Compendium of Oils, Unguents, Incense, Tinctures, and Comestibles (Marilyn Daniel)
  • Earth, Air, Fire & Water: More Techniques of Natural Magic (Scott Cunningham)
  • Earth Power: Techniques of Natural Magick (Scott Cunningham)
  • Herbal Magick (Judith Hawkins-Tillirson)
  • Spirit Medicine: A Guide to Healing in the Sacred Garden (Hank Barnard Wesselman)
Any advice on what other books would be better but about the same topics as these books?

Thanks again!

@Agni: Cunningham may be kind of fluffy, but his works on herbs, crystals, and incenses/oils are among the very best quick-reference works I know of.

To OP: most of the books listed here will probably serve you pretty well. Honestly I try to read everything I can on the subject unless it's over the top fluffy. Once you learn what to spot the crap becomes pretty obvious. Whatever you do, be patient, and practise twice as much as you read. This will serve you well. The best insights you're gonna have are your own, not ones from books.
