Amazon.com Review
I've had mixed success with scrying, but following some of the well thought out exercises in this book helped me to pin down a number of things that were hindering my progress. If you've had trouble with scrying, or have an interest in expanding your skills beyond the tarot and other usual forms of divination, Scrying for Beginners is a genuinely helpful book that demystifies this ancient art.

Donald Tyson is a Canadian from Halifax, Nova Scotia.  Early in life he was drawn to science by an intense fascination with astronomy, building a telescope by hand when he was eight.  He began university seeking a science degree, but became disillusioned with the aridity and futility of a mechanistic view of the universe and shifted his major to English.  After graduating with honors he has pursued a writing career. Now he devotes his life to the attainment of a complete gnosis of the art of magic in theory and practice.  His purpose is to formulate an accessible system of personal training composed of East and West, past and present, that will help the individual discover the reason for one's existence and a way to fulfill it.

Wonderful
This is a great book for beginners. It details exercises to increase your scrying ability. "Scrying for Beginners" goes into some detail on a lot of different scrying methods and includes a little bit of history as well as how to make some of your own scrying implements.

An okay book
This book was good for me because I am a beginner, but at some points the book was hard to read. I would definately recomend this book to someone who wanted information on scrying, or wanted to know how to select the best tools.

Well written but somewhat imcomplete
I thought that this book was informative, and gave a lot of information on various types of scrying. However, the book only scratched the surface of so many types of scrying. . . frankly, if you aren't using a mirror, ball, candle, or pendulum, then you won't get as much information. Nevertheless, the book was not aimed at any particular religion (as I have noticed Llewellyn publications tend to be) and the exercises were easily incorporated into anyone's spiritual exercises. I'd recommend buying it because it is well written and keeps your attention, but is best suited for a beginner, as the title indicates.
