I purchased this out of sheer curiousity - what goes into the manufacture of this powerful chemical agent, and what kind of individual would write a how-to manual. I was impressed with the concise, clear quality of the writing. Despite the author's wholly unapologetic treatment of the subject, I found their intellect and humor to be refreshing. I cannot speak to the informational quality of the text, as I have never manufactured LSD, nor do I intend to - however, the text was detailed technically, and full of practical safety tips. At the same time that I found the text, and it's mere existence, fascinating and refreshing, I also felt a bit sad that such an excellent intellect is wasted on illicit activities, and slowly degraded by consumption of their product.
