*Quote from Marilyn McGuire, president and founder of Nautilus Book Awards and former president of NAPRA (New Age Publishing & Retail Alliance), about the Trick of the Light album.

**Only ten books were recommended under the “Creative Expression” category in John Clancy’s A New Age Guide for the Thoroughly Confused and the Absolutely Certain. Along with Trick of the Light in the top ten, were such classics as The Little Prince, J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, and Hermann Hesse’s Magister Ludi, The Glass Bead Game.
