I picked up my copy of this last week. So far I've been fairly happy with it. I've read at least one or two of the articles elsewhere, but there is more then enough original material in it to satisfy me.
I had originally picked it up thinking I could use it as a planner as well, and not buy Llewellyn's Witches Datebook this year. But, the Reader is all but useless as a planner. The sections for each day are very small, and the type of binding used is not really appropriate for a book that could see daily use.
All in all though, I think that this is a good book to pick up. It's inexpensive, and as Jeannette said, it is a nice book to just pick up and read a few pages worth.
