Great book to pass around....

This is a book you could easily give someone who has been curious about Freemasonry but who might easily be put off being handed a 'Dummies' or 'Idiots' book. It's very compact (6 1/4" tall by 5 1/2" wide) and fits easily in a car's glove compartment or a suit pocket. For the price, it's inexpensive enough that you won't mind losing a few in the process. The topics are basically free-standing so it can be picked up and put down at a whim. It has a positive view about Freemasonry but it also notes the warts and pimples of time. Grab a copy: you won't be disappointed!

Title is misleading

From the name of the book, I was expecting a list of 101 different facts about the Freemasons. It's actually a well written book covering the history and controversy of the masons. If you want to know the complete details of what is inside, just check the reviews for "The Everything Freemasons Book" because both of these books are one in the same. If you look inside the cover of this book it states "portions of material adapted or abridged" from the above mentioned book. It actually is the same book. I don't understand why the same book was published under two titles by the same company, unless you figure it's another way to pull in a few bucks. That said, if you want to get one of these books, I would recommend this one since it is five dollars cheaper and smaller if you want to take it somewhere.
