Llewellyn is a victim of its own success, but I do think it is somewhat true that they tend to exclude a less "fluffy" sort of writer. That being said, I have just finished engaging three of their more interesting authors to speak at our 2004 Pagan Fest. Donald Michael Kraig, Russell Buddy Helm and Ann Moura.

It is difficult to make a blanket indictment of a single publisher, but Llewellyn has brought a lot more information to the public than was ever available before, but not all of that information is good or even useful. I'm not a huge Llewellyn fan, but I do have to say that, from a festival production standpoint, they have been *extremely* cooperative, solicitous, helpful and generous (we get free books and stuff from them to review for our organizational newsletter now, too, BTW, so that's a nice bonus).
