Stellar reviews: from Armand Diaz, for the NCGR Newsletter, "indispensable... a great resource... the organization of the book is wonderful... a guide not only to astrology books, but also to understanding astrology as a discipline in all its complexity... from Victor Olliver for The Astrological Journal, "consistently well-informed... As a literary 'food taster', Michael O'Reilly is a trusted detector of quality, rigour, originality, recycled grub and missing links - able to hold his own with the best without showing off or one-upmanship." from Karen Christino (author of Evangeline Adams) a five-star review, "a trusted resource and consistently sensible opinions on a wide array of books... This book should be required reading for skeptics to learn about the depth and breadth of astrology."from Arlan Wise for OPA's The Career Astrologer, "a terrific reference book... the Cliff notes for astrology books. It's the gift to give your astrologer friends when you want to please them and to buy for yourself."The Ultimate Book of Astrology Books (TUBAB) is a unique source of astrological information, presented in the form of book reviews of the major astrology titles published in the last three decades. The 334 reviews were written under the pen name Chris Lorenz for Dell Horoscope magazine between 1993 and its last issue, published in March 2020. The book reviews are organized in eight broad categories: Core Principles, Archetypes (the Planets), Predictive, Relationships, Schools of Thought, Specialty Tools & Techniques, Astrology Branches, and Fiction and Non-Fiction. Within each of these eight categories, the material is further divided into sub-topics, such as Synastry, Mundane Astrology, Astro-Noire, Asteroids, and so on. TUBAB is a terrific resource, and the organizational work done to present these book reviews, in a way, is organizing the astrology community's collective knowledge under one roof. It allows students, teachers, authors, and followers of astrology to know exactly where to turn for the best books available on their favorite astrological topic. To be clear, this resource is about real astrology. There are no reviews on Sun Sign books. The astrological community's most prolific and well-known masters are included in TUBAB. Nicholas Campion has five books reviewed, Liz Greene has fourteen, and Noel Tyl eleven. A few historic books reviewed include Richard Tarnas and his paradigm-busting Cosmos & Psyche, Ronald Reagan's astrologer gives the inside scoop in What Does Joan Say?", and Liz Greene's masterpiece, Jung's Study in Astrology, about Carl Jung and the Age of Aquarius. Plus reviews on books by Bernadette Brady, Steven Forrest, Lois Rodden, March and McEvers, Grant Lewi, Ray Grasse, and Donna Cunningham. Many more authors' works are reviewed that you wish you had known about but hadn't discovered to until you found TUBAB. And if you just want to be entertained by astrology, Part Eight's book reviews include many fascinating works of fiction. A few of these are in the process of being made into feature films, while others harken back to film noir, with the hero being an ace detective skilled at solving whodunnits using astrology. The non-fiction books reviewed in this section give readers an engaging new perspective on academic fields, including history, science, literature, and the arts. Whatever passions you have in the mainstream world, a knowledge of astrology can tremendously enhance your interest, sharpen your focus, and offer new opportunities for growth. TUBAB shows you where to look among the best astrology books available. It's a must-have resource for astrology lovers of all levels.
