Whenever a book is published by a university press, it is refereed by
several scholars who look at it objectively and recommend whether the
mss be published, returned to the writer for revisions, or rejected.
Methodology is one of the things they look at. TMR is published by the
State University of New York, a major publisher of works on Wester
Esoteric Traditions. It was refereed by several scholars. I have
personally met and got to know two of them. They are both university
professors and their opinions about the book were favorable.
