"Your home library is more than a mere collection of fact and fantasy. By acquiring and keeping each of the books that line your shelves, you craft and ever-changing self-portrait made of memories, knowledge, hopes, and secrets unique to you alone.

This illustrated essay unpacts the self-relective mystery of one such personal library and offers you a way to do the same with your own. Through the ancient and contemplative art of bibliomancy, you'll learn how to use your collection of books as a powerful magical tool, gaining insights into your past, present and future."--Page 4 of cover
