Pot Puzzle Fun Book: Marijuana Entertainment Presented By Cannabis Culture (Quick American Archives, $20). You don't get review copies like this every day. Sandwiched between the pages of the locally compiled Pot Puzzle Fun Book was a zip-lock bag containing what looked and smelled like an expertly rolled sample of the titular substance. I guess that's one way to try to smoke out a favourable -- even delirious -- review. Certainly, herbheads will have fun with this little compendium of puzzles, crosswords, mazes and quizzes -- perhaps more fun than it deserves. They may enjoy the "Name the Strain" picture quiz, in which you must identify strains of Burmese, Nagano Gold and whatever. Thanks to a word power test, I now know that "nematodes" are parasitic worms that attack marijuana plants but I had no idea how to help Dealer Dave distinguish between his mixed-up stash of Afghani and Skunk #1 in one of the book's brain teasers. Then again, given the book's target audience, just turning the pages for some could amount to a rather daunting brain teaser. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
