All about Ecstasy,
By
This review is from: The Book of E: All About Ecstasy (Paperback)
Through interviews, anecdotes, extracts and analysis, this book looks at the cultural impact of the drug Ecstasy from its early days in the gay club scene through today. Excerpts from newspaper articles, interviews with those involved in the early club scene are great. The 15-page bibliography is unbelievable, as is the list of 50 or so Web sites. The authors have done an admirable job at not taking sides on the ecstasy debate. They give treatment to medical information, police and government reports, newspaper accounts as well as the comments of users. This approach makes the book more important and long-lasting than a "isn't this cool" book that links music and E in the club scene only.

E is for enlightenment,
This review is from: The Book of E: All About Ecstasy (Paperback)
an intriguing account of the drug that shaped the eighties and spawned many to turn their backs on shallow materialism and work toward a more enlightened and "cognitively aware" life.Explores the known or rumored dangers and offers an intelligent approach to diving within your own nervous system as an informed neuronaut bent not just on hedonism, but on coming through the other side with enlightenment. Read along with the works of Shulgin for a more sensible version of drugs than the one your government feeds you!
