4.0 out of 5 stars Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll!, 16 Dec 2004
By J. Wallis (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you haven't managed to get hold of the now out-of-print 'Psychotropedia' by Russ Kick then I'd say this is a damn good substitute. In the same format as 'Psychotropedia', it is essentially a compilation of mini reviews split into sections, including film, music, zines and non-fiction. There are some great titles reviewed in here - all the reviewers have written accessible and entertaining contributions, with crucial info of price/publishers etc alongside. The only reason I've given it 4 stars and not 5 is that I wish it was bigger!
