I completely recommend his books. They are a little dated and as such I had issues with some sexist and racially obtuse language but I ignored this as best I could. At some points it was difficult though because Campbell tended to ignore woman-centric or Goddess-centric mythos. At least in the book I read.
I'm currently reading Myths to Live By for a book report for my Myth, Magic and Folk Relgion class, and I'd highly recommend it. It's like $14 new at Borders if you can't find it at the library.
