The book has all of Baker's books and almost every effect he released, plus a lot more, including essays by Teller, Eugene Burger, John Carney, and Jay Marshall.  ~Todd Karr

For me, Al Baker has been a source of deep magical inspiration. I consider Al Baker to be one of the giants of twentieth-century magic.
