Spliffs 2, the follow up to bestselling title 'Spliffs', is packed with everything of interest to the cannabis connoisseur. The first chapter contains an analysis of the processes for growing your own strain. There is an examination of the plant (and the very different male and female specimens), plus the arguments for indoor and outdoor growing, hydroponics, an assessment of the best means of cultivation, seeds and hybrids/cross pollination. The second section explores the music behind the drug, from hippy festivals such as Woodstock to the Bob Marley-led reggae explosion. The link between rap music and cannabis and the rise of Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre and Eminem is discussed, as is the success of Afroman's 'Then I Got High' (UK No 1 for three weeks in 2003) and music events like the Up in Smoke Tour and MTV's Cannabis Weekend. Chapter Three is a delight for the discerning smoker. It features more than 50 items of smoking paraphernalia - including bongs, pipes, blunts, vapourisers, hookahs, grinders and scales - specially shot against white backgrounds with explanatory captions. It is a testament to the fact that for many dope smoking is more than a hobby, it's a way of life. Chapter Four features potted biographies of the world's top 50 pot heads, from the obvious (Bob Marley and Howard Marks) to the unlikely (Cary Grant, Pierce Brosnan and Prince Harry), while Chapter Five is styled as a travelogue, taking a snapshot of cannabis use worldwide - where it's best to score and where should definitely be avoided! To end the book there is also a section on cannabis cocktails so you can while away those summer evenings enjoying your favourite tipple mixed with cannabis tincture. Packed with feature spreads including hilarious true life stories, famous dope busts, hemp fashion and herbal highs to name a few, and featuring a comprehensive chronology, Spliffs 2 is the ideal purchase for the dope enthusiast.

This "How It's Done" series reveals insider hints, tips, and tricks from one of the world’s greatest comic creators in his own words. The artist behind juggernauts like Watchmen and The Green Lantern, Dave Gibbons is here to teach you scriptwriting, page layouts, lettering, cover designs, and more, and he’s doing it with scans of original artwork and rarely seen workings to illustrate his personal creative processes. How Comics Work covers both Gibbons' hand-drawn and digital design techniques in depth. An early adopter of computer design in comic creation, all his lettering is digital, and he even has his own 'hand-lettered' font. This is your chance to gain insight to Gibbons' digital work, from his computer coloring and 3D modelling with Angus McKie on Give Me Liberty, to his work on The Originals using digital greytones. You’ll learn how he layers text for editing, creates effects such as flares and neon glows, and prepares artwork for print and online.
