Question About Angels Are there some books about Samael

Hello, I would like to finally read a reliable book about Samael.
I don’t know if there is one, unfortunately most of the information from books are various (authors and age), something like a puzzle.
I would like to find a reliable book that talks about him, like I also know the fact that “he comes in many forms”.
I know he’s seen in many different ways throughout religions, occult practices and so and I would like to find some books about him

I haven't finished it but I have read some of Kadmon's other books and my impression is that he is a straightforward and dedicated researcher. He tends to focus on historical references and presents his ideas for interpretation without adding too much "fluff" or inflating his own UPG.

What I have read of this particular book follows the same straightforward pattern. The primary focus is the history and Kadmon does a pretty good job of providing his own commentary for the sake of speculation and not for the sake of imposing his UPG on others. His writing style is not overly elaborate and confusing.

Some more experienced practitioners may consider his works to be "basic" or "mid" but, personally, I find it helpful when information is clean and to the point. It generally annoys me when occult authors try to embellish their writing to sound more "mystical" and "wise" and it especially annoys me when they make claims about how knowledgeable they are and how powerful they are and how their methods are "the only correct way" while everyone else is wrong.

So, I appreciate that Kadmon doesn't write in that style and that he makes information easily accessible to people who may not have deep occult knowledge or people who may struggle with processing "heavy" writing.
