This review is from: Alchemy: The Art of Knowing (Medieval Wisdom) (Hardcover)

This CD case sized book is perfect for the coffee table (especially as a coaster). It gives a fairly quick and sloppy broad overview of the topic of Alchemy with some illustrations from the original alchemical tomes, but unless you know absolutely nothing about the subject, you'll learn nothing new. May make a great birthday gift for the 3rd grader child of pagans on your block.
