Albion Dreaming: A Popular History of LSD

Former beGlad editor Andy Roberts has written
this new book which will be published in July 2008. It covers the full history
of the drug's use in Britain from when it first arrived here in 1952, through
the psychotherapeutic and military uses and with about two thirds of the book
dealing with the counter culture use of it. Vast amounts of new information
gleaned from interviews, loads of photos never seen before, etc. The Incredible
String Band is mentioned at least three times! Dead get at least one mention.
