The book is, The Witch's Bag Of Tricks: Personalize Your Magick & Kickstart Your Craft by Melanie Marquis.
I picked this book up based solely on the title. I was disappointed with the book and did not finish reading it.
There is a certain trend among Wiccans and other self-described witches in which people talk about magic instead of actually doing it. This is one of those books. It's the author's opinion on magic and her suggestions or advice on how to get in touch with your power. The information provided is mostly of a trivial nature. Despite the title of the book, there are no actual "tricks" provided.
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, I give the book a 1.

You hit the nail on the head there Doc.
Way too many wiccans and pagans spend more time talking and reading about magic, than actually doing it.
@ Midnight Conjure,
I would venture to say that there is littel-to-no actual magical craft in the Wiccan form of witchraft, other than the rituals that were designed by various key-note people such as Gerald Gardner and Alex Sanders for example. The actual magic aspect of Wicca was pretty much stole, watered-down hoodoo/rootwork/conjure.
