John Mitchell Watt & Maria Gerdina Breyer-Brandwij･･･

This 1962 Second Edition, published by E. & S. Livingstone, is a substantially revised and expanded reference on African botanical and medicinal knowledge, making it a key primary source for African studies, botany, and pharmacology. It includes the original dust jacket, rated Good (B), which shows typical wear: edge tears, chipping, and spine rubbing. The hardcover beneath is likely well-preserved. The text block edges show moderate age toning, but the book remains structurally sound and fully usable. Approx. 25.5 × 19 × 5.5 cm. As the definitive edition, it is highly sought after by researchers and specialized collectors.

C. W. M. Wilson (Editor)、Pergamon Press、1968

This true First Edition (Pergamon Press, 1968) presents the proceedings of the 1966 Society for the Study of Addiction symposium on youth drug dependence. Published when adolescent recreational drug use was rising sharply, it documents early pharmacological and epidemiological perspectives that helped form modern addiction science. Edited by noted pharmacologist C. W. M. Wilson, it features a distinctive cream cover with a dramatic Psychedelic “Eye,” appealing to collectors of 1960s design. Grade B: no jacket, age toning, light wear, structurally sound.

Peter Cooper F.P.S.、ALCHEMIST PUBLICATIONS、1974

This is the Third Edition (Revised and Enlarged, 1974) of Poisoning by Drugs and Chemicals, Plants and Animals, written by Peter Cooper, F.P.S. and published by Alchemist Publications in London. The book served as a quick-reference index for identifying toxic effects and treatment methods related to poisoning from drugs, chemicals, plants, and animals. It reflects the practical toxicology and emergency-medicine knowledge of the early 1970s, making it a useful historical reference for collectors interested in the development of pharmacology and clinical toxicology. The book is approximately 20.5 cm tall. Condition is rated C, as the cover shows chipping, tears at the corners, scuffing, and significant foxing or staining on the endpapers. Only the book itself is included. Despite the condition issues, this edition remains a noteworthy historical resource and an appealing item for collectors of early modern medical and toxicology texts.

Eleanor E. Buckley & Nandor Porges (Editors)、Ameri･･･

This is a rare second printing (1958) of Venoms, an important academic volume first published in 1956. It contains the key papers from the First International Conference on Venoms, held in Berkeley, California, in December 1954. This conference played a major role in establishing venom research—now known as venomology—as a modern scientific field. Edited by Eleanor E. Buckley and Nandor Porges and published as AAAS Publication No. 44, the book presents leading research of the time. The contents cover the chemistry, mechanisms, biological effects, and clinical uses of venoms from snakes, spiders, scorpions, and marine species. The cloth hardcover, titled “Venoms” in gold, is in good condition for its age. Condition is Grade B, with light shelf wear and normal tanning or foxing on the page edges, but the binding is still tight. This volume is a key primary source for collectors and researchers interested in toxicology, scientific history, and early post-war life-science research.

Gabriel G. Nahas (Editor)、Springer-Verlag、1976

This is a rare first-edition hardcover monograph titled MARIHUANA: Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Cellular Effects, published by Springer-Verlag in 1976. It contains the proceedings of the 1975 Satellite Symposium on Marihuana held in Helsinki during the Sixth International Congress of Pharmacology. The book captures a key moment in 1970s cannabis research, presenting studies on cannabinoid identification, their metabolism in the body, and their cellular effects—including early findings on how cannabinoids may inhibit cell growth and DNA formation. The back-cover summary reflects the scientific views of the time, noting “very harmful biochemical and cellular effects for the long-term user.” The blue cover shows a macrophage micrograph and a cannabinoid chemical structure. Condition is Grade B: light shelf wear and minor age-related foxing, but overall clean and well-preserved. No accessories are included. This first edition is highly collectible and valuable for researchers and libraries

Louis Lemberger and Alan Rubin、Spectrum Publicatio･･･

This is a scarce and important academic book titled Physiologic Disposition of Drugs of Abuse, published in the United States in 1976. It offers an early scientific look at how the body processes drugs of abuse, a major research topic in the 1970s. Written by Louis Lemberger, M.D., Ph.D., and Alan Rubin, Ph.D., from the Lilly Laboratory and Indiana University School of Medicine, it is Volume 1 of the Monographs in Pharmacology and Physiology series. The original paper dust jacket has a bold 1970s-style design showing human anatomy and drug-related imagery, but it also has handwritten notes of unknown origin. The condition is rated Grade C because the dust jacket is heavily damaged—torn, chipped, discolored, and missing pieces. The hardcover inside is in better shape, though the page edges show typical age-related tanning. Although worn, this book remains valuable for researchers and collectors interested in medical science, pharmacology history, and 1970s drug research.
