I recently own a copy of Sri Garuda Purana.
गरुड़महापुराणम् = The Garuda Mahapuranam Text with English Translation, Notes and Index

This book of Purana, is voluminous and contains information on many topics. They range from Temple construction, Installation of idols and Deity worship, Various vratAs, Vastu ShAstra, DharmashAstras (Synopsis), Hymns to various deities, Glory of Vishnu and Garuda, to topics like Dhanvantri Samhita : Causes and Cure for various diseases and venoms, Details about gems, Death Rituals. One can pick and choose to read/know.

I have heard from people that it is not auspicious for one to own or read Garuda Purana at home. So, I would like to post the Phala Sruti from that book, for our own clarification.

The phala sruti is given in the last chapter - 240.

Lord Hari Said:- O Rudra, I have narrated to you the Garuda Purana, the essence of all knowledge. It brings joy to the listener and brings about release.

It confers learning, fame, glory, wealth, victory and health. Rudra, he who reads or hears the Purana becomes omniscient and goes to heaven.

Brahma said:- O Vyasa, I have heard the Purana from the mouth of Vishnu. It surely brings about liberation to the hearer.

Vyasa said :- Thus, Brahma who heard the Purana from the mouth of Vishnu related it to Daksha, Narada and others including myself.

I had gone to Vishnu-loka with my mind set on Brahman. I heard this PurANa and later on, imparted the same to Suta. Now, you have heard the same from the mouth of Suta.

On hearing the Purana, the person attains omniscience satiates his desire, reaps the fruits in the form of realizing the self. This Purana, the essence of all knowledge, Vishnu related to Garuda.
