Six Weeks Until 'The Little Black Book of Marijuana'

My book, The Little Black Book of Marijuana: The Essential Guide to the World of Cannabis is coming out in August.

As listed in the current catalog of Peter Pauper Press:

This concise guide to cannabis provides the essentials of cultivating, using, and cooking with weed; identifying the many varieties of pot; and understanding legal and health issues. This Little Black Book also delves into pot culture and history, from Herodotus to the hippies, from the rise of the medical marijuana movement to decriminalization. Includes full-color photographs of marijuana varieties. Steve Elliott is a journalist and editor of the Village Voice Media blog Toke of the Town: Cannabis Culture News and Views.

What I have to add to that is that, given the size constraint of 20,000 words, I packed in as much cannabis lore as I possibly could! And had a great time doing it.

You can pre-order The Little Black Book of Marijuana at Amazon, Borders, Barnes and Noble, and just about every major retailer, as well as at your local independent bookstore.

Coming In August: The Little Black Book of Marijuana

My book, The Little Black Book of Marijuana, is scheduled to be released in August by Peter Pauper Press in New York.

The book is basically the history of cannabis condensed down into 20,000 words. Yeah, I know! But when I get a chance to bring the truth to the masses, I take it -- even if the truth has to be concentrated down into its essence like hash oil.

Some things just can't be concentrated any farther, so in the cultivation chapter, for instance, I basically just handed off the ball to Rosenthal and Cervantes. You do what you gotta do.

A big thanks to photographers Linda Finkle of Seattle and Kym Kemp of San Francisco for their excellent bud and plant shots!

Watch for it at your favorite local bookstore, or get it on Amazon or other online retailers.
