[.ca] Get Stoned and Read This Book (ISBN 096735370X)

Playboy.com's review-Spetember 2001:
If every book on your reading list beckoned you in such a way, homework would be a breeze. The coffee-table book of choice for discerning potheads, Gordon G. Gourd's Get Stoned offers artsy photography that's more than just pot shots (some nice nature pics, and the Foosball close-up is a winner), and the writing that accompanies each spread is compellingly obtuse. Clever and original, this 72-page weed-read is dope-y without being dopey.

GREAT COFFE TABLE BOOK:):
I bought this book for my boyfriend for his birthday and he loves it. His friends also adore the book, I love the poems and pictures... an interesing fun, book.

Dude! Stop talking about being high:
The other reviews led me to believe that this book would be full of visually (and maybe even philosophically) stimulating images and words. Maybe thats the case, as long as you're an American male who likes Bud Light and baseball. I feel like I know the authors a little better after reading this, and they're not people I would hang out with. (I am male, British and hate Bud Light and baseball. A female American friend found it similarly frat-boyish.) Get High and Talk About Being High and Sports would have been a better title from my perspective.

Close but not quite:
Kavity Kreep stole this book awhile back and it had been tempting me while collecting seeds and stems on his coffee table for the last couple of months. Hey, the book is white which makes for a convenient place to do your rolling. Anyway, writing a book about getting high for people to get high and read? Well, that's like selling a book about Andy Griffith during "Matlock" reruns. Too easy. So, a truer test was to pound a pint of schnapps and read this bad boy. Color me unimpressed and a little hungover, boys. Just wasn't that interesting. A few cool things, but not that cool. Probably was fun to write though. The NASCARS race that the Kreep was watching held my interest longer and that led to some seriously prolific beer drinking. After the race we went to KFC for a bucket and then played some video games. Besides, I wasn't holding that day anyway. Sure got drunk though.

A unique and kooky book for everyone:
"Get Stoned and Read this Book" is a wonderfully unique look at the world through pictures in a beautiful coffee table book format. I think that people are misled by the title and get the image of Wayne and Garth getting stoned in the basement of their parent's house laughing at everything. They would enjoy this book immensly as well, but it really has some wonderful photos that help you to look at things in a new light that you never would have normally considered. This book is also a fabulous conversation piece, and a must-have on your coffee table at any party. Everyone I know (all well-educated, gainfully employed individuals) absolutely loves this book. The other reason that I think you should buy it is because it was self-published. With all of the mammoth publishers trampling over the "little guy" it's nice to see people finding a way to live their dreams. This book makes a wonderful gift, especially around the holidays, and it should make you happy to know that you are supporting people who deserve it!
