“First off, the book gets five stars and more. It is almost complete and a great guide to anyone willing to dig deeper in the mushroom experience.

However it was a little damaged when it arrived. I have always had good experiences getting goods from Azarius, but a damaged book is a big issue. It immediately loses a big part of its value, especially as it is a pretty pricey one.

Minus two stars for that.”
