Better books make better astrologers - Treat Yourself!

Updated September 14, 2010

Dave’s “Best of the Best” list of Astrology Books

(Not our complete catalogue, just the best parts of it.)
I've often been asked for a list of my favorite astrology books, the ones I thought best. For years I resisted as I did not want to slight all the other
authors of all the other books. Also, I didn't think my personal biases should get any more attention than they already do. But we live in a world
that is graded (good - better - best) & those who make the rankings take it upon themselves, for better or worse. All of these books are in print and
in stock. Be forewarned: These are demanding books.
You will find a version of this flyer at http://www.AstroAmerica.com/TopTen.html . There, each of these titles are linked to informative
blurbs, price & other purchase information. And now, the best of the best:

Postscript: A great work is the result of great
talent, combined with an element of luck.
Gurdjieff said talent was like salt. It must be
handled skillfully. Scattered or misapplied & it is
lost or the effect ruined. Few authors have the
talent for a great book. Few ever will.
That said, there are many other good
books. These books & authors are mere
springboards. What do you want to study,
where do you want to go? The possibilities
are endless.
This list will be updated from time to time.
