My friend got me interested lucid dreaming like a week ago, and gave me this book. I read the whole thing in 1 day. I found it to be pretty interesting and worth reading. I read the book first and then I stumbled upon this website as I researched the internet. The book explains everything I found on this website, and goes into much greater depth about the different and more obscure methods of LD induction. It doesn't talk much about RCs, but then again I suppose there isn't too much you can say about RCs (other than that you need to get in the habit of doing them). The book has neat "exercises" for you to do that will help dream recall, memory, critical state checking, etc. The book spends the first 150-200 pages or so discussing what lucid dreaming is, and how to do it. The last third of the book talks mainly about practical applications of LDing, and some people's experiences with it. The book has many first person accounts of LDs (I guess people send in their experiences to him).

I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the topic, even though most of the information in the book can be found on the DV website for free.
