The book is so densely packed with images, it's almost literally bursting of them. I already liked the Virtual Absinthe Museum a great deal, and so I absolutely love this book. It deserves a good spot in my collection. Thank you for such a wonderful and successful effort of compiling it. My compliments!

Does anyone have a more 'positive' opinion regarding the effects ? I have never tried any Absinthe from overseas but would love to one day. I am hoping the new Lucid will have some effects of some kind ... other than the alcohol .. Will post again after I try it ! I just purchased a bottle of Lucid ($56.00) and have yet to try it.
