"A Book of Angels" (1990) by Sophy Burnham. I bought this book in good faith because I wanted a book on angels, and indeed parts of it do recount some established lore about them. But in the end it is neither a theological or historical account, but degenerates into the rather swampy area of "New Age" spiritualism. Also (a more petty reason) I found its squarish dimensions awkward; it never set well on a shelf with other volumes. Into the shadows!
