Dear Friends,
I'm pleased to announce that my book, TIBETAN RITUALS OF DEATH - BUDDHIST FUNERARY PRACTICES (http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415566360/), is now available in paperback at the fairly reasonable price of £24.95 (US$42.95). It's available through the publisher's print-on-demand programme, and can also be ordered from Amazon (and, hopefully, other booksellers). I think conference discounts also apply, if you happen to be at a conference where Routledge is handing out those nice forms with 20% off for attendees.
Although the topic of my book may seem a bit remote from the Academic Study of Magic, it's my position that many of the practices of Tibetan Buddhism, and in particular those associated with dying and death, are magical in nature.
Sincerely,
Margaret
