It is reasonable to presume that both books really originate from king Solomon's works (there are historical, religious, and traditional sources supporting the premise that he was involved in magic) and that the original text have been changed in subsequent copying and transcription.
When you read Clavicula Salomonis, you realize that Solomon actually talks to his son in this book saying that he leaves him the book as a part of inheritance, and in other sources we read that it was discovered in the Solomon's tomb by the invading army, and that it was encrypted.
Of course,writer of this book, just like all others refuses to be connected with fl magic or Satanism regardless of the fact that the book describes "Infernal Necromancy", causing harm to enemies and similar.

In that series, the heavy hitters of the DC/Vertigo magical universe showed a young boy, Tim Hunter, that he was destined to be the greatest of them all, and to warn him to ready himself of a coming threat.

This may sound like Harry Potter, but Timothy Hunter, the hero of 'The Books of Magic', first appeared in comic book form in 1990 - and he definitely isn't public school material.
Timothy is just skateboarding around the estate when he is accosted by four sinister trenchcoated characters and taken on a journey from the beginning to the end of time, with detours through occult corners of America and the hidden land of Faerie.
Despite some good ideas, the later books fizzle out rather, partly due to being set in London but written by Americans - British readers will not be surprised that, as usual, they can't do convincing English dialogue and convey little sense of place.
