No, I haven't read all that many other books by Atkinson. I was more interested in his "mind-over-matter" magic and Western esoteric doctrines than in his approaches to various aspects of mental training or his work on Yoga. I'm looking forward to hearing more about these other parts of his work in the course of our discussions.

In addition to _Mind-Power_, I've carefully gone through its earlier versions (_The Secrets of Mental Magic_ and _Mental Fascination_), three of his booklets from the same years (_Practical Mind-Reading_, _Practical Psychomancy and Crystal Gazing_, _Practical Mental Influence_), and _The Kybalion_. I've also spent some time poking around in the accessible volumes of his _Arcane Teaching_ series and his _The Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucians_. And that's basically all so far. -- I've spent more time with Charles Leland's various writings that I have with Atkinson's.
