Good Exploration of a Ubiquitous Subject
Compared to a setting book or a campaign, there's only so good it's possible for a book of spells to be. This book certainly does get to that level. It begins with an overview of magic, both classifying and describing it. And then it collects all the spells - there is more to it than that - each spell comes with a selection of atmospheric variant names, many come with "deeper magic" (more powerful effects that sorcerers and monsters might use), and others with other bits of mechanics and lore connected to their effects. Overall it's a book to be judged on convenience and utility rather than inspiration. Within that caveat, it certainly excels, particularly if you mean to run a magic heavy campaign.

Great book
The only negative thing to say about this book is that it's only PDF for the moment (4/6/17). But this book is much needed for the Call of Cthulhu game world. It contains alot of spells, an explanation on how magic works, and also has some really good ties to original Lovecraft stories. One special bonus, the description of magic in this book resembles the kinds of descriptions you would find in actual occult studies in the real world, so it's actually a very nice addition to any normal library. I assume this will cause it to get mixed up with the real world, like the Necronomicon.

Fantastic addition to the 7th Ed line
Nice mix of revised and new material, and the entire book looks beautiful. Cannot wait to have the physical copy on my shelf.
-
Beautifully laid out and useful tome.
As title asserts, this is a fantastic addition that i believe will be very useful in my campaigns.
-
Beautiful book - duplicate content
This book looks great and I look forward to owning a hard copy. However this is mostly just a collection of spells from the main rulebook and Horror on the Orient Express etc collected together. The new NPC sorcerers do add something (with fantastic illustrations brining the characters to life) - but it would have been good to see more fresh content like this,
