The Wide World of Hashish,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Great Books of Hashish Vol.I Book 3 (The Great Books of Hashish 1st Trilogy) (Paperback)
I waited several years for this book to become available.It's a heavy and pricey tome, with some great photos (most from the 1970's and early '80's) just like all other volumes in the collection. The book's design, by the author himself, is rather poor and difficult to navigate, with an army of fonts and millions of colors marching in unbelievable combinations. Should've hired a designer, really. The reader is better served with the earlier books, there are tons of more information and enjoyment in those. For the serious collector only.

The Great Books of Hashish Vol.I Book 3,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Great Books of Hashish Vol.I Book 3 (The Great Books of Hashish 1st Trilogy) (Paperback)
THE GREAT BOOKS OF HASHISH VOL 1: BOOK 3 by LAURENCE CHERNIAK. This beautiful Book 3 continues the reputation of Mr. Cherniak's Book 1 & Book 2 whose purposes are to research the world's finest hashish and marijuana plants. This 3rd one is a huge and exciting book! 256 pages of glorious color - two times the size of Book 1! Contains photographs from over 30 countries and all 50 American states. Chapters on smuggling, eating, drinking, and even a cannabis feast! Microscopic explorations of buds, calyxes and resin. I agree with the following reviews:"I first saw Laurence's books in the early 70's. They were the finest quality books, color photos and explanations that I have ever seen on cannabis and hashish. No one, even comes close to Cherniak's comprehensive photos and editorials. All these years have passed and Laurence can still be proud of having the finest photographs of cannabis and hashish that I have ever seen. I grew up on his books". JACK HERER, Author, THE EMPEROR WEARS NO CLOTHES The first time I saw these photographs by LAURENCE CHERNIAK, I felt like a test pilot suddenly thrust into a new dimension, riding a magic carpet to the fabled lands of hashish...I knew at once this was the best essay in drug photography I'd ever seen, a master work...CHERNIAK acts as a hierophant, revealing the mysteries of hashishology with imagination, intelligence and respect. Dr. Michael Aldrich, Ph. D. Curator Fitz Hugh Ludlow Memorial Library, San Francisco. "LAURENCE CHERNIAK's books are very far above all the other books that I have seen in the last 25 years regarding marijuana and hashish. Laurence always gives me the sense of living splendidly while travelling around in a great big world. Reading his books transports you on a journey throughout the continents, showing not only the richest substances: but also the people". BEN DRONKERS, Founder of SENSI SEEDS, Holland
