Title: Disappointing
Product review: The usefulness of this book is compromised by its shallow treatment of a number of subjects that people might want to look up. Some of their articles are just wrong. For example, its article on absinthe states that it can cause convulsions, blindness and even death. But, although absinthe was vilified in the past, no evidence has shown it to be any more dangerous than ordinary liquor. Its psychoactive properties, apart from those of alcohol, had been much exaggerated. A revival of absinthe began in the 1990s, when countries in the European Union began to reauthorize its manufacture and sale. It is now legal for sale in the U.S. There are many other examples of misinformation throughout the book. If one is to rely on it as a reference book, it should be more accurate.
