While this isn’t a true coffee table book, this is the type of volume you want to keep on the coffee table when your 420-friendly company comes over—it’s that much of a visual and cerebral delight. Culled from the globe’s best and brightest, this self-proclaimed “Essential Guide to the World’s Finest Marijuana Strains” fulfills its mission statement in spades. If it’s psychedelic, muscle-relaxing and/or thoroughly drizzled with trichomes, this book’s got full-page exposés on the effects, anecdotes and horticultural backstory of 100 strains—some of which even this reviewer hadn’t heard of. Revisit old friends (Sonoma Sunrise), question one Spanish grower’s nomenclature (Crystal M.E.T.H.? Really?) or just drool at the pictures (nug porn, anyone?)—in any case, you’ll be cracking this book’s spine time and time again.
