Thorough, informative, well organized, and great as both a reference text and as a cover-to-cover read.  I am in no position to rate a book like this one, but I was recommended this book by someone I trust and know is knowledgeable so I believe it's an excellent resource for learning more about the Yoruba tradition.  I found it clear and comprehensible as someone with little prior knowledge of Yoruba tradition, and absolutely fascinating.  I feel like I've learned a lot having read this book, and I appreciate the glossary and bibliography being included.

An overwhelming amount of information packed in a small book, this offering manages to give an introduction to Ifa while failing to draw in complete beginners.
