"a handsomely produced coffee-table book...One hundred and seventy strains of grass are described in terms familiar to oenophiles. 'Blue Kush is a tasty combination of blueberry and lavender sweetness contrasted with subtle sour and spice undertones, ' Michaels writes. In the eye-catching photography of Erik Christiansen, samples of those strains appear as curious abstractions created by 'color correction techniques' that presumably bring the buds to life in the cannabis equivalent of Technicolor."

Written by Dan Michaels with photos from Erik Christiansen, Green: A Field Guide to Marijuana is rigorous in it's coverage of everything from bud biology to paraphernalia, with entries on how to roll, smoking etiquette (don't hit and run, brah!), and 75 words on whatever the hell QWISO is. Plus it's got more than 150 high resolution pictures of the stinkiest, gnarliest, hold-me-I'm-loosing-it strains of ganja you've ever laid eyes upon."
