Overall I give the collection 4 stars for all that it does well - even though it is not entirely what I had hoped it would be. This is a good collection for entertaining people interested in cannabis, but it is not as informational as I had hoped it would be.

I was hoping for something that would share more useful information about different strains of cannabis: growing characteristics, preferred growing mediums and environments, indoor-outdoor height, potency, nutrient preferences, etc. I keep hoping somebody will produce something like a world wide seed catalog, but written by unbiased connoisseurs and growers who are personally experienced with growing the various strains and with their medical properties and effects.

On the positive side: The photography was great and there were some really interesting articles in the books as well. Also, the price is fantastic for all that you are getting, and the presentation value is very good (including the nice slip case).

One major drawback for me however was how repetitively the author constantly preaches about how "outdoor organically grown" cannabis is so universally superior to every other possible growing alternative. It's fine that he believes that so adamantly, but I didn't feel I needed to hear those same beliefs repeatedly hammered home on virtually every single page of the book(s) and I was really tired of hearing about it only halfway through the first book.

If you are familiar with the Cannabibles or are interested in purchasing them, I would say go for it. If you love fine quality herb, and want to know more about it then definately get these books.

Jason king really knows his stuff, and his photography is at times breathtaking. The photos and strain reviews are interspersed with very interesting and insightful articles concerning all aspects of God's sweetest medicine. I guaruntee that if you are not a cannisseur you will definately consider yourself one after a thorough purusal of the Cannabible series.

As to this mini version, I docked a star because they are abridged. None of them have the forewards, which in the case of the second and third volumes are well worth reading. Also a few of the strains present in the large counterparts are omitted.

If you must get this one for economic reasons, or portability (these are considerably smaller than the originals) then by all means get this. However if you can shell out the dough for the larger ones than I would highly (pardon the pun) reccommend getting the complete set so you get the full experience.

The quality of these books is quite fine, well made in a sturdy box and the pictures, although smaller than the full editions are nonetheless vivid and drool-worthy.

Happy toking. erh...I mean reading. :)

Well you could if you wanted to but I think tobacco is probably better for your health. Jason King is the undisputed Cannabis Connoisseur of the world! The way he captures not only the visual beauty of the buds and plants he so loves, but he goes into detail about the very soul of these fine herbs. He does so armed with extensive knowledge as to the heritage, strain, and history of all these buds, but also with the passion to do so like no one else.

What makes these books stand out has to be the little side stories commenting on everything like the benefits of vaporization, the importance of reducing the negatives of life on the human body and soul, the proper care of cannabis, a discussion on the positive and negative effects of cannabis use, medical uses, horticulture, botany, and all around living well.

This small collection is great for the casual cannabis caterer. But the full hardcover editions of each Cannabible would be a better choice for the true Connoisseur of Cannabis!

This is simply an amazing collection. I had previously owned the full-sized, hardcover version of these books, but donated them to my fraternity. When I saw that there was now 3-pack of miniature versions, I knew I needed to re-acquire them.

Each book has a general theme. The first focuses mostly on strains that can be found in Amsterdam, with some from California, Hawaii, and Canada. The second book specializes in only organically grown strains raised and bred in California. The third book is a combination of the first two, but still tends to lean its focus towards Cali strains again. While the third book does re-visit a couple of the more popular strains, there are very few repeats so you don't don't worry that its going to get repetitive.

Along with the amazing pictures and microphotography, there are also a number of articles spread throughout all three books with information on marijuana, breeding history of specific strains, and marijuana culture.

I'm fairly certain that Jason King is the luckiest man alive and definitely has the best job I've ever heard of. I just thank him for sharing his knowledge and experience with the rest of us.

Love the little books,
Thought I was getting all three normal size books.
They go great on my coffee table, people love them while I'm entertaining.
Great pictures and fun notes and info from the author.
He's living the dream, traveling around and enjoying the flavors of the world.
It's porno for the Ganga lover in all of us.
Until this plant is set free in all the states; medical users will continue to suffer.
This book is a dream of what could be for the patients stuck in states that have no compassion.

The Cannabible Collection is comprised of the three Cannabible books into one neat package. The books are helpful for dispensary owners, bud tenders, and cannabus connoisseurs. With the marijuana industry growing, so are the variety of strains/types of marijuana. These books describe the different types of strains and the distinctions among them. There are tons of close-up pictures to help you really see the differences among the strains. Some reviewers complained that the pictures are not clear or big enough, but I think for an encyclopedia-like reference guide, this book is still very useful. This book is also very useful for medical marijuana patients to determine the strains that will be alleviate their medical ailments and to verify that the medicine they buy is labeled correctly.

I bought these books for my boyfriend who is an avid marijuana fan to say the least. At first I wasnt sure what he would think of these but I am pleased to say that he absolutely loves them!! He has shown them to all of his friends, and I often see him reading them. So I would definatley recommend these books to anyone who is interested in marijuana!

small compact. Beautiful pictures, almost pocket size. Had full version of book 1 but prefer this smaller version for portability.
Anyways I am happy, cheap and beautiful pics.

The information was good and the photos were mostly good but so small it required reading glasses!

This is a great series/ collection to own. My only wish would be that it be printed in a larger more authoritative format in one volume. THe writing and pictures are great, i just wish there were more of it. it would also be really nice bound into a single volume as a coffee table type book. Definitely worth owning>
