5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you Ed Rosenthal !, March 25, 2002

By A Customer

A field guide for marijuana...brilliant! Clever (and useful) icons make a great quick reference guide, making me want to run out into the fields to id them all. The descriptions are informative, intelligent AND witty with more information than you can shake a stick at. I had never heard the term "couch lock" but I've had the condition and now posses the adjectives to describe it. I learned about the major differences between sativa and indaca. The pictures are plentiful and pleasing to the eye. There are so many varieties out there and this book is the first step in helping people get to know them all. I look forward to the Big Book of Buds II and so on and so forth...until every variety is known to all who wish to know.
Thank you again Ed Rosenthal and all your worker bees that helped make this book possible!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really better than anything out there..., March 6, 2002

By	idbsne1 (Sothern Cali) - See all my reviews

P>Anyways, at first I THOUGHT it was like the seed company descriptions, but the truth is there is ALOT of information in this book...the photos are actually really good quality...and there's a whole bunch of them...the information on each strain is amazing: flower time, yield, taste/smell, type of high (really cool part), type of growing conditions, and in most cases what the PARENTS are....All in all a REALLY informative, fun book. Anyone I have shown it to hasn't been able to put it down until they are done....:)

5.0 out of 5 stars great coffe table book, August 1, 2005

By	Pete S. "Peter Smith" (Berkeley CA. USA) - See all my reviews

I love the great pictures in this book. The information is very helpful in describing each type of bud. It tells you what to expect from each one. I find this very helpful when researching buds. As a graphic designer I think this layout is top notch. Crisp, clear and easy to understand.
