One more thing - I haven't listed publishers, locations, and dates on this update - because you won't necessarily find the same edition or cover that I list - and also because the important search criteria is the book title and the author's name. The edition you find could be later, earlier, hardcover, paperback, big print, and so on. Almost all of the book selling and publishing sites will provide lists as well as allow you to purchase online.
My personal comments are in this blue.
So, Good Luck, Blessed Be, and please have fun.

A Community of Witches: Contemporary Neo Paganism and Witchcraft in the United States (Studies in Comparative Religions), Helen A Berger, University of South Carolina
This is a study of neo paganism and Wicca - illustrating the diversity of the Craft - in the United States from the late 1960s to the late 1990s - interesting reading.
The Encyclopaedia of Paranormal, editor Gordon Stein and Carl Sagan, Prometheus Books
The Goddess knows that I love Carl Sagan. He was astronomy's rage when I was studying astronomy. He inspired me more than I already was. But Carl Sagan was as much a virulent skeptic of the paranormal as James Randi of CSICOP is - and as Prometheus Books are. So be warned - this book is SKEPTICAL. At the very least, it will give you a different if not opposite viewpoint. If you'd like to look at more of James Randi's viewpoint, please access http://www.randi.org and http://www.csicop.org.
