Summary: Best book on the subject going.
Comment: I think this is probably the single best book on how to get started with any kind of practical work, however, I have one complaint about it: The author shows you how to do everything with high-priced equipment, that you really don't have to have. The fact is that the ancient alchemists/spagyrists usually didn't have all that equipment, and it's probably smart to at least start off with simpler items before you invest a thousand dollars in this stuff. I think he would have done the art more justice if he had given lower-cost alternatives to the equipment in this book. Get this book, and supplement your reading with lots of material from Adam McLean's website, various alchemy forums and the Philosophers of Nature books if you have the money. Also question what all of them have to say, and compare, because all of them have their quirks.

Summary: Excellent Introduction to practical Alchemy
Comment: With the rise of serious interest in alternative medicine and
the western occult, there is a need for a good, relatively
clear introduction to practical alchemy. This is it.
This book explains the equipment you need and proposes a
theory of alchemy which reveals real respect for the ancient
texts- though as the title promises there is little here on
the work with metals.
If you want a detailed or scholarly history of Alchemy you
will have to look elsewhere, but this book is essential for
anyone interested in the work itself *or* in herbal medicine.
