Banzhaf is good and readable - but the keywords one will just leave you wanting more; there's not enough detail - which is why I used his fuller book.
Which actually means: you're always a beginner with the Thoth - and all the books are for more-than-beginners LOL.
There's no way you can promise people to "learn the Thoth in a breeze", "2 hours and you're an expert", "Thoth short and sweet" --- you can try to market an RWS book (it's impossible, too, but you can disguise the fact better...) like that, but no way with Thoth.
It has this stubborn, bristly way of saying: if you think one kiss is enough for this beauty, think again, no go and eat your kabbalah soup, astrology stew and alchemy pudding, and we'll talk again...
That's the thing. The reason why I like DuQuette's book is that it gives you basic tools to try and tackle Book of Thoth. I can't tell if this is the case for these other books as I haven't read them.
