Great book RUINED by Amazon Press.
WARNING: DO NOT BY THIS EDITION VIA AMAZON. It is rife with spelling errors, line breaks, and missing bits rendering parts of it unreadable. It is a travesty and grave injustice to Ms. Fortune's fine work, which is now in public domain, and apparently the Amazon Print department decided to make money by issuing their adaptation of it. Hunt down a pre-2000 edition and get the original text...you will be most satisfied.

Poor quality editing/proof reading make this edition worthless.
This is a review of this specific print edition not the subject matter in general.I purchased this to replace an old paperback copy that is showing wear and tear. I wish I hadn't. The layout and typeface is disorganised, it is riddled with spelling mistakes and in places text is overlaid on text so it is illegible. There are random parenthesis with gibberish in them. It looks like somebdy has taken the original and put it through a poor OCR system and just hit 'print' without proof reading any of it.I will be tracking down an earlier version on a second hand book site, avoid this one....

Warning. Do not buy!
This ebook is littered with punctuation and spelling mistakes making it difficult to interpret exactly what the author is saying.Buy another version as this one does a disservice to this excellent book

Great book ruined be the need for a good copy editor
Having read this book before in my teenage years and being thoroughly impressed with Dion Fortune's lucid exposition of a rather complex cosmology / psychology I was absolutely appalled at what a disservice was done to this wonderful text by such sloppy editing (if there was any editorial process happening at all) in this edition. All I can say is shame, shame, shame. Perhaps the copyright could be given to Dion Fortune's own Society of the Inner Light. I am sure that they would do the text justice and truly honor the spirit of their founder by handling her most famous text in the respectful manner that it truly deserves.

Excellent information.
Excellent information... But the spelling mistakes are ridiculous throughout this whole book. That may not bother most people but for me it sticks out like a needle in the eye!
