Would you recommend this book?

Would you recommend the book Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells by Judika Illes or any books from that author? Why or why not? Also, please post any other helpful books that you would recommend. I'm going shopping for books (FINALLY!) so I'm making myself a list of usefull books. Thanks:)
