2.0 out of 5 stars Truly A Little Book, July 6, 2000

By	Russ Reising "russedelic" (Putting the High in Ohio) - See all my reviews

Cam Cloud's "The Little Book of Acid" doesn't really add much to our understanding of LSD, its effects, or is subculture. More of a resource for acquiring seeds and directions for synthesizing psychedelic substances, this contribution to the growing literature on LSD pretty much just summarizes and charges for information commonly and easily available for free on the Internet.

This book and other Ronin publcations do attempt to respond to an important readership, and they do represent a kind of avant garde in that respect, but they really need to improve the quality of their work. Misspelling "Aldous Huxley" as "Aldus" in a book on LSD indicates weak editorial work and a lack of commitment to the quality of their products. Other sentences in the book simply don't make sense as a result of editorial carelessness. Ronin has an interesting catalogue. I like it, and I like them, but they need to sharpen up their publishing skills!

this book guides you through the history of acid (LSD-25) and gives examples of forms of it (blotter, windowpane). It also has legal ways to extract LSD like substances from Hawian Wood Rose and others. An informative peice of information!
