I agree about _Real Magic_. It's one of the best and most non-biased sources
for magical theory out there. (Well, biased only by Bonewits' personality.)

The door swings both ways, too. Several friends and I have found the
Grimoire's section on metamagic a useful working tool for practice and
theory. It's a good condensation of stuff currently in magical traditions..
The writers very obviously did their homework.
