Little Book of Opium
Despite how small this book is, it is jammed full with information.
Almost any question you might have about opium or an opioid will
be answered by this book.
No Book Like It
The Little Book of Opium contains information from a vast resource. There is quite simply no book like it. If you already have books on opium, like Opium for the Masses or Flowers in the Blood, this book will make a great addition--filling in most of the holes left by these books.
On the other hand, if you have only one book on opium, it should be The Little Book of Opium. It covers all aspects of opium as the table of contents shows. In addition, the chapter on minor constituents is a real gem; it describes the effects of 23 of opium's alkaloids--this is in addition to the chapter on the five major constituents and chapters devoted to codeine and morphine. This information is simply not available in books written for a lay audience.
