Close your Eyes and look deep within yourself,
Listen to the voice of your heart. In this calm place, you know what magic is.

Those books there are ones I usually refer to when answering simple questions.

I also have a complete set of High Times from the first issue until 1986. and various mushrooms 8ssues published after 1986.

I also have the foloowing drug magazines, High-Life, Head, HomeGrown, Flash, Paraphenalia and Dealer and several other drug orientated magazines which only lasted a few years and many journals.

Here is a suggested reading list of books pertaining to the sacred mushrooms.

High, here are some excellent books on Entheogenic Mushrooms.
