Industry Reviews
"This is a lively, well-researched book, strengthened by Jonnes' eye for detail and sense of illustrative anecdote."
Philadelphia Inquirer - Tim Warren (08/18/1996)
"Jonnes is addicted to intriguing etymological and historical tidbits; "dope" comes from doop, Dutch for "sauce," an apt term for the sticky stuff prepared in opium dens. (Booth reports that the world "hip" has an opium-den association; "Its root lay in the fact that addicts gained sore hips from reclining on their sides on hard, opium den bed-boards.")"
Carson
