I'm looking for a book. Specifically, I am looking for a book that Jessica Spaulding had in the summer of '02, that was a mystery writer's guide to poisons. It was a book of poisons and their affects, to help writers be more accurate. But I can't remember the title (or anything close enough to get help from Amazon). Does anyone know?

Thanks!

Just answered on Facebook, but for anyone here that's interested it's "Deadly Doses: A Writer's Guide to Poisons" From Writer's Digest Books. My Mom keeps it displayed on the cookbook bookcase in her kitchen.

Yeah, my writer friend used the same one. She also thinks this one might be good: http://www.amazon.com/Poisoners-Handbook-Murder-Forensic-Medicine/dp/1594202435/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1269583948&sr=8-1

Oh, I'm reading that right now! I got it at Costco, and really, it's brilliant! And makes me glad I'll never drink at a real speakeasy.

That's awesome. Ben is sitting next to me and I can almost hear him thinking about whether we should get a cookbook display unit just so we can do the same... :-)
