The Encyclopedia of Superstitions

I bought this book for research, and I've found it to be a very easy-to-use resource. It's organized alphabetically, but each entry cross-references other entries. The conversational tone and interesting facts make it eay to read as well. Interesting and fun!

This book is a must-read for anyone who loves superstitions - it's incredibly entertaining. I bought it for my son and he loves it. It's fascinating to see what superstitions people have and how they came about. Great read!

The Encyclopeda of Superstitions was a very good book When I recieved the book in the mail I was really suprised by the great shape the book was in you could not tell it was a used book and what a great price. This book is ideal for the people who are into superstitions or those who would like to learn more. I personally used this book for a college project which helped me out more then i thought it would.

This has been very informational and interesting to read. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to know how stuff got this way.

Lots of fun and information

Not much of an encyclopedia. It explains superstitions but rarely mentions their history. No sources are cited. As such its faith to assume its accuracy.

I brought this book for myself because I so curious about the customs and superstitions of the diferents cultures , this book fulfill all one point I cannot put donw.

I like it

J'avoue avoir été séduite par la couverture... Hélas, on ne se refait pas. Le contenu du livre ne m'a pas déçue. Une compilation pratiquement exhaustive des différentes superstitions des plus connues au plus farfelues. Mais surtout, on apprend une quantité de choses toutes plus intéressantes les unes que les autres. Vraiment excellent ! Le tout est classé par ordre alphabétique ponctué d'illustrations en noir et blanc qui aérent le texte. La bibliographie de fin vaut également le coup d'oeil. Je ne recommande cependant pas ce livre aux supersititeux :)

Worth reading it!! But do not keeping thinking over it to become superstitious. Positive thinking is a must, but it is good to know how different cultures have many unusual beliefs, which may be right to certain extent actually. That's what you may also feel. I liked and enjoyed reading it a lot.

Like wikipedia but with 98% less info... I can't bring myself to recommend this. There are much better book about superstition available on amazon

ausgesprochener, überhaupt nicht glaubwürdiger Blödsinn! Dieses Buch hätte ich nicht gekauft, hätte ich gewußt, wie wenig fesselnd es ist! Ich möchte es nur ungern empfehlen.
