Poison: The History of Potions, Powders and Murderous Practitioners

Such a beautiful book, so well written with gorgeous illustrations, superb book for anyone interested in Poisons 🖤

I have lots of books on poisonous plants, but I don’t regret of buying yet another one. This book holds lots of information, lots of pictures and was worth every penny I paid for it.

Beautifully designed and printed, and packed full of fascinating facts - but for academic interest only, and NOT for practical applications!!

well I have to confess I haven't read this book, I ordered it with another book and when my mum spotted it she 'pinched' it. But from her verdict of the book she has given it the 5 stars thumbs up - and we all have to believe what our mums say!.

An interesting book with great images and a lot of information .Also it has arrived within the estimated time delivery.(very fast shipment)
