Part history, part folklore, this collection of marvelous anecdotes and curious facts--from the author of "Did Monkeys Invent the Monkey Wrench?"--takes a witty look at the drugstore, capturing all the sights, sounds, and smells of this rapidly disappearing symbol of small-town charm.
Enjoyable light reading, this book has many little known facts that will astound professionals as well as the general public. Vince Staten remembers well a slowly fading side of Pharmacy. Slightly superficial, but not meant to be anything but entertaining. All in all, excellent.
