Product Description
"The coffee table book for pot-smokers." That's right. GET STONED AND READ THIS BOOK. A book entirely conceived and executed under the influence of marijuana. Lots of marijuana. Written by the creative partnership known as Gordon G. Gourd, GET STONED is the culmination of five+ years of binging. Shot by Mr. Clancy, penned by Mr. Winter, GET STONED has been a labor of love. The book is self-published by Gordon G. Gourd, Inc. because established publishers felt the book was 'too esoteric'. It's a pot book. It's supposed to be esoteric. Publishers also felt that the title was too progressive for the likes of Barnes and Noble, and in order to sign us up, we would have to at least change the layout of the cover. Gordon felt the compromise was too great. "Screw it," we said. "Let's do it ourselves." Six months later, we've got books. Printed through Acid Test Productions in California (publisher of many pieces on the Grateful Dead), the book itself is oversized, 10"x10", 72pp, with both full color and black and white imagery, printed on high-end glossy paper. The production quality is top-notch. The book itself is a series of loosely related full page spreads, each with a different image and idea, all created for the stoner by the stoner. It's some pretty whacked stuff.

 The required coffee table book for any stoner. December 18, 2006

My girlfriend gave me this book and while I was skeptical while reading it sober I loved this book when i read it high & drunk!!!
While I'll admit putting it away when the parents come by, I love having it out during parties, a definite conversation starter. The pictures are pretty good as is most of the writing in it (not 100%, but enough to keep this pothead satisfied).
Lastly as another poster pointed out, a plain white surface can be very useful when rolling.....
 WHAT A JOKE!!! November 10, 2006

Kavity Kreep stole this book awhile back and it had been tempting me while collecting seeds and stems on his coffee table for the last couple of months. Hey, the book is white which makes for a convenient place to do your rolling. Anyway, writing a book about getting high for people to get high and read? Well, that's like selling a book about Andy Griffith during "Matlock" reruns. Too easy. So, a truer test was to pound a pint of schnapps and read this bad boy. Color me unimpressed and a little hungover, boys. Just wasn't that interesting. A few cool things, but not that cool. Probably was fun to write though. The NASCARS race that the Kreep was watching held my interest longer and that led to some seriously prolific beer drinking. After the race we went to KFC for a bucket and then played some video games. Besides, I wasn't holding that day anyway. Sure got drunk though.

"Get Stoned and Read this Book" is a wonderfully unique look at the world through pictures in a beautiful coffee table book format. I think that people are misled by the title and get the image of Wayne and Garth getting stoned in the basement of their parent's house laughing at everything. They would enjoy this book immensly as well, but it really has some wonderful photos that help you to look at things in a new light that you never would have normally considered. This book is also a fabulous conversation piece, and a must-have on your coffee table at any party. Everyone I know (all well-educated, gainfully employed individuals) absolutely loves this book. The other reason that I think you should buy it is because it was self-published. With all of the mammoth publishers trampling over the "little guy" it's nice to see people finding a way to live their dreams. This book makes a wonderful gift, especially around the holidays, and it should make you happy to know that you are supporting people who deserve it!
