Not bad considering, but lacking in many areas Ok, I bought this book hoping for information that a pharmacist might use if inclined to use mandrake. Is there a correlation I should be aware of for body mass versus amounts of mandrake to achieve non-fatal results. Yes, there is, but it was not in the book.On the other hand, it did give a very informative description of the effects (quantities omitted) and the history of this magickal herb.
