Secret, Don't Tell: The Encyclopedia of Hypnotism

TL;DR — A 550-page, self-published popular encyclopedia of hypnotism, covering induction, history, research and alleged mind-control programmes.
Carla Emery, best known for The Encyclopedia of Country Living, published this through Acorn Hill Publishing in 1998. It opens with a personal anecdote and ranges across hypnotic induction, the history of hypnosis, stage and clinical hypnosis, research, and claims about covert mind control.
It mixes reporting on established research with material from the fringe, and should be read with that in mind.
What it is: a self-published popular reference by a non-specialist, with a strong interest in mind-control claims. Not a scholarly source.
