I love the original edition of this book, I must have read it 15 times in the last 25 years, so I was keen to compare.
Although I enjoyed this new and updated edition I missed some of my favourite parts that have been edited out along the way. They style is a bit more mature than the original, but as a long time follower of his work there was little added information I'd not heard at one point or another at questing conferences and events. If I was revisiting this without having re-read since the first edition or had any other forays into the subject I imagine I would have enjoyed it more. As it is I will be reaching for my trusty original next time I want to read it

This book took me years to finish. I persevered because it wasn’t awfully written and the conceit is interesting; but if you like the cover of this book — and you would be mad not to, it’s awesome — you should be aware that it has no plot to speak of, no denouement whatsoever, and consists of apparently real-life documentary action related painstakingly but consisting predominantly of a couple of guys drinking beers and describing their daydreams to each other. They are moderately interesting daydreams! Good work BLACK ALCHEMIST, whomsoever ye may be.

The whole "psychic questing" lark might be tenuous in terms of objective reality, but as far as occult adventure fiction goes this has a certain weird charm to it. Full review: https://fakegeekboy.wordpress.com/2018/10/12/bernard-the-storyteller/
