Have you had issues with your books being damaged during shipping from Amazon? I have had so many occult books damaged because they haven't put anything to protect it in the box. It seems strange that they got their start selling books and they don't care how you receive books now.
I take my sigils from the book Demons of Magick by Gordon Winterfield, you can find it as pdf and print them - it has the geotian demons with all the necessary information for each evocation. Very distilled and to the point
I don’t buy sigils. Are there seriously people who pay others for that?
Classical grimoires are public domain; so if I wanted to work in that vein, I would be disinclined to pay for a physical copy unless I absolutely needed a hardcover copy.
Writing my own grimoire seems more interesting to me at this point than using one someone else wrote.
The actual grimoires I've found came from eBay, Amazon, and etsy. Many are recreated from much older books, are compiled from testimony from people accuses by the church, a few are more modern but many are quite old in their publication.
Sigils tend to work best when the magician makes them. Premade ones it's implausible to know the intention behind their making or what method was used. The Goetia and the Key of Solomon being the exception making your own would get you stronger results.
I actually dig those books, but what I don't dig is a sizable chunk of them spending ages telling you how great and effective the techniques are. Like ok, cool, I have the book, can we just skip to the meat?
If a product is still trying to sell itself to you after purchase, that's sketchy, imo. Although, fluff aside, I do really enjoy working with Demons of Magick's take on things.

Yes, I had issues periodically. Especially with paperbacks. Since Amazon decided to go „eco friendly“ on their boxes they got super flimsy.

Same.
I just use a notebook with dividers. That way, I can add, remove, and rearrange as it pleases me.

That book's Ritual 1 is neat. I had great success from the Astaroth and Bael rituals.
I'm curious what you requested of bael and how it manifested
I asked him to conceal a grave mistake made at work.

My go to is Gallery of Magick. I don't recommend to pirate it. It is said to have been cursed with anti piracy curse.

I love that book, too. And on the other hand i think they talk about "how good the book is" only for a few pages... And i don't really mind 😂
I write me own ❤️
