Alchemy: An Illustrated A to Z by Diana Fernando

3.0

A good basic introduction to the concepts and history of alchemy. This is a history book rather than a 'how to' guide.
Dragons: A Natural History by Karl Shuker

3.0

The book is well illustrated and discusses dragons with a cryptozoology slant. The mythology information is a bit rough round the edges. A few things are downright wrong. It's an enjoyable book, but don't rely on it heavily for research work.
