50 Book Challenge Update

#18 The Good Luck Book by Bill Harris. This was actually a pretty cool book. It is set up like a dictionary, and gives you a little blurb about assorted good luck charms and why they are seen as lucky and by whom. It was really interesting to find out where different superstitions come from. I skimmed over the bibliography at the back (Cunninghams gem book was among those listed), and I think I am going to be keeping my eyes open for some of the folklore and superstition source books.
