Hello there, @Anon!

I do have some Set books, what I found in the near past, and I still trying to find more and also, feedbacks on the content of the book. I’m not a bookworm, so I have a little struggle about knowing the writers, titles and so on, and because I didn’t read all of these books yet, I didn’t mean to share parts of them randomly. Of course it means that I won’t share anything what I haven’t read yet.

The first two books you see (Religion and Rituals in Ancient Egypt by Emily Teeter, Magic in Ancient Egypt by Geraldine Pinch) is not only about Set, but I know that He got mentioned several times, so I think if you interested in the topic and Him at the same time, these might be useful as well. The third one (Seth by Markus Carabas) is obviously, about our hard-nosed Netjeru.

This two books is about Him (Seth, God of Confusion by H. Te Velde, Set by Judith Page & Don Webb). Also, I have some saved books in PDF format about Him, but I just got them back nowadays, because of a technical issue (and as it should be, some of them was absolutely unusable, defective because of this). 

If you interested in their titles: - Deconstructing the Iconography of Seth by Ian Robert Taylor - The sites of Seth by Blanca Amor

I do my best to find more books about Him, and read as much as I can (even if I’m way too far from being a bookworm, because I never was), and if I feel like I have enough knowledge and titles I’d like to share/list for you.

An important thing I’d like you to know, that I didn't read all of these books yet. However, I read tons of articles, posts and book excerpt about Him, my first book about Sutekh is the “Seth, God of Confusion” by Velde, and I didn’t finished it yet (and honestly I don’t know where should I continue, I don’t really have any clue not in a form of fellow Sethian Kemetics or articles/guides, but it’s pretty fun, tho). It’s mainly because it’s a bit hard to read about Him for too long, personally.

Finally got this one finished, and I’m not going to lie, I really wish I’d read it sooner.  It’s a really good overview of all the religious aspects of AE, and probably the closest I’ve seen to being a primer.  It talks about all of the ways religion was practiced, from the priesthood, to the funerary cult, and even a section on Amarna.

It’s not perfect--at one point she refers to Set and Apophis as being evil gods, which is hella annoying and really wrong, but her focus is less on the theology and more on the actual practice, so it’s relatively forgivable.  Most of the rest lines up with other sources, except in one easy to read volume (and it is an easy read, it’s not dry at all).  In spite of a few minor errors like the aforementioned one (Set’s not evil and Apophis isn’t a god), I would still heartily recommend it for beginners because it is such a good general overview.  Anything that’s off can easily be countered with a good dictionary of Egyptian gods and goddesses, which a beginner should also have.  It also covers a few things that don’t get covered in depth in the other books I’ve read, such as the priesthood, so it’s surprisingly thorough.
