Literary Review

The Little Book of Ketamine
Kit Kelly

This tome from  the Ronin stable is  a good solid "field guide" to the
Ketamine experience. I must say that I was a little let down  by  the
lack  of theory  in  this  book. There  are  a  few too  many repetitions
in  the text and the  legal section is only  relevant in the US, but overall
this book  does provide an essential manual for anyone who wants to
know more about this fascinating drug.

From a brief history of K to detailed information on dosage, set and setting
The Little Book of  Ketamine is the "highway code" of the K-hole. A balanced
view  of the  problems and  promises of  this charming molecule  prevail; it
neither hails K as  the key to Life, The Universe and Everything nor does it
admonish the K-tripper to give up their explorations.

This is an excellent map of the gateway to the K territory, with hints that
"Kit Kelly"  knows much more. Perhaps we can  expect a follow-up volume? For
my part if this is  the holiday brochure then it would be great  to hear a
travellers tale or two.  Overall, a worthwhile  addition to the  Library of
every serious psychonaut. óJV.
