The first book to focus solely on appraising the entire body of Cayce readings from a scholarly perspective, published by SUNY Press. Johnson evaluates evidence for and against Cayce's reliability across medical, historical, and psychological domains within the Western esoteric tradition.

James Randi's comprehensive investigation of psychic fraud and pseudoscience, published by Prometheus Books, including critical reanalysis of Edgar Cayce's claimed successes. Randi's background as a professional magician provided unique expertise in identifying deceptive techniques underlying paranormal claims. His examination of Cayce focused on selection bias and post-hoc interpretation in the evaluation of psychic readings, arguing that apparent successes resulted from vague language and confirmation bias rather than genuine psychic ability.

Martin Gardner's landmark skeptical work examining pseudoscientific claims including Edgar Cayce's psychic readings, published by Dover Publications. Widely regarded as the foundational text of the modern skeptical movement, it has been reprinted over 30 times and remains influential in scientific literacy.

Dale Beyerstein's methodological critique of how Edgar Cayce's readings were evaluated, published in Skeptical Inquirer (Jan–Feb 1996). The analysis addresses confirmation bias, cold reading techniques, and the absence of controlled experimental conditions in Cayce research, while also cataloguing documented instances where readings produced verifiably incorrect diagnoses or predictions. This work provides the most systematic skeptical evaluation of Cayce's methodology and failure rate.

Stephan Schwartz's evaluation of Edgar Cayce's contributions to consciousness research, published in Opening to the Infinite (2007). Schwartz, a researcher in remote viewing and consciousness studies, provides an analytically grounded assessment of Cayce's legacy within the broader psi research landscape.

The only biography of Edgar Cayce written during his lifetime, authored by journalist Thomas Sugrue who lived with the Cayce family from 1939–1941.
