Oh. This is just a pretty picture book. It's one of those books that is just full of random pictures about Freemasonry, with some mediocre captions, not always accurate, that are meant to sell to the uninformed or the gullible. I usually pick these up at remainder sales for a few bucks. It certainly isn't a book I'd recommend to anyone, but the pictures are nice.

It was new at the library, I thought I would check it out- so far it is quite interesting. Spelling error on the Author's name...it is actually Harwood!
It was interesting to learn more about the history of Freemasonry and which traditions have been incorporated into it throughout history.

A nice introduction to Masonry and the traditions, but lacks any real or thorough information. To anyone who is really interested in the subject, I would skip it.
