To the individuals who read this book and take it for fact, you are being mislead. First of all and most importantly, Wicca and santeria are NOT satanic practices, in spite of what the repressed and sadly bible blind christian public may like to believe. If you want real information on either of these things, this book and its like are NOT where you get it. The book itself has a few interesting paragraphs. I've read better. If you are interested in true hunters of evil check out anything by Ed and Lorraine Warren. They are intelligent and learned and their view is a lot less biased.

This book provided a decent overview of the various occult groups (Satanist, Wiccan, Santeria and Voodoo) operating in the United States. The author seems to have researched his material pretty well. I took away a few stars for two reasons. One, this book is rather dated having been published in the mid-80s. If you are looking for an up-to-date publication, this probably won't do it for you. Secondly, the chapter on Wicca was pretty bad. It basically allowed two professed witches get on their soapbox and preach away. While this is very informative, some kind of counterpoint would be helpful. Furthermore, the witches in question did NOT (unlike the author) back up their claims with any kind of verifiable evidence. Twice they claimed that Exodus 22:18 was somehow placed in there by a (unnamed) Pope. A beginning seminary student could tell you that there is ample evidence that the text of Exodus pre-dates the papacy by a very long time. All and all this was a decent book with a very readable style.

Wedge's book "The Satan Hunter" is interesting for several reasons, one of which is that it's written by a former policeman who dealt with satanists during his career. Most books on satanism are written by theologians, but it was interesting that he was a policeman. Another benefit of this book is that it educates the reader on various satanic groups, including the Church of Satan, Santeria, and Wicca. This book also contains case studies of some who are involved in these various groups. If you want a good overview of satanism, read this book.

The book is overall quite good as an introductory text for accounting, but there are other books out there, equally good, that come a lot cheaper.

William Price is indeed an overlooked architect. While I'm hesistant to call him a genius, his work has a breadth seldom seen in the work of his contemporaries. He was one of the last of the Philadelphia architects to come from a background of manual training rather than an academic background, but clearly he was able to apply the lessons of contemporary practice learned from books, and stretch into new areas of the Arts and Crafts movement and advanced design in reinforced concrete.

The author spends an inordinate amount of time in the book describing how Philadelphia, with a strong heritage of innovative industrial design is left behind in the architectural world due to an academic bias of the press based in New York and Boston. While this is important to Price's reputation, it has little to do with his actual work. The prose in the book is repititious, reading as a series of loosely related lectures rather than a single thesis, and the book design does not help the reader.

The illustrations, largely drawn from the firm's archive now held by the author, are very well produced, but could have been supplemented by more new photography. A significant number of Price's buildings do survive, and color photography would bring out the great qualities of material, color, and texture that were so important to his work.

In summary, a book on Price was long overdue, but one would have hoped that it would focus more on the great qualities of his architecture.
