How good, bad or other is Isis Magic: Cultivating a Relationship with the Goddess of 10,000 Names by M. Isidora Forrest?

I figure there are at least some issues with it potentially, in terms of not being entirely accurate (Isis vs Aset in particular), but wondered if it was something to be avoided completely or not? It used to be one of my favorite books way back when I was interested in Kemeticism, but given what I've come across more recently now I have to question how much of it is decent information versus more NeoPagan influenced.

There's an updated version, but I've not had any chance to look at that at all.

For the snippet that was available to read on Amazon it starts off looking like it had Neopagan influence. But as I kept reading it looks like a mix of Hermetic and Neopagan practice.

Isis of 10000 Names came about after either the Greeks or Romans took over Egypt. Let me ask one of my Tumblr buddies. I've got one that works more in the Hermetic time period. They'd probably know more about how accurate it is than I would.
