OJD, i thought you had forgot all about me asking. i have been dying to see some pictures from this book since i first saw it in the background of one of your photos. those pics are absolutly mindblowing. it's amazing to see how little hashish has changed over the years yet how different it really has become. though there have been some improvements in the extraction process and the purification process , we still make hashish in almost the same way as people did thousands of years ago. it's a piece of human tradition that is often overlooked by many historians but hashish has been used by people all over the world for thousands and thousands of years. much thanks for giving us a glimpse at an age old technique.

side note: i would like to know a little more about the "fire and water" method they describe in some of the captions. it seems very interesting. in one photo, it shows water being poured over a pile of kif powder and says something along the lines of "water being added to afghani powder starts the hash making process". seems very interesting.

they add water to stubborn resin powders to aid in pressing them... you can sometimes see this type of hash as if it is improperly dried the surface will be covered in a fine white mold.

this is somewhat similiar to using steam on sacks of resin then pressing the sacks with a jackpress.

Where are the round pellets that are on top of the book from? Do you get those frequently?

Hazeseeker · Oct 28, 2008

Looks like a really good book Ojd,
does it mention in there what the arrows on the top of the hash means?, possibly the region it's from?,
all the different hashes look so good, mouthwatering stuff man

peace :joint:

i would imagine the marks are some sort of brand. often bricks of heroin, cocaine, opium, and hashish are branded with markings to indicate the region of origin.

The arrows signify that those are the real deal Royal Nepalese Temple Balls.

This, and Hashish! are my two favorite bathroom readings. Hashish, by RC clarke has a bit more updated information as well as a ton of good history and updated methods.

Buy them. You wont regret it.

Does anyone have any of Cherniak's other "Great books"?

I'm curious because in his great book of hashish he alluded to a method to salvage a lump of moldy hashish, but i have not been able to locate where he outlined this procedure. Anyone got the goods?

I also love this book. When first released in 79 we used to use it as a guide to the types of hash we used to get (stuff just like in the book).

Its a shame that the "abridged" version is not the same as the original. It has that awful "photoshop" look and is missing some pages.

Sadly getting the original is hard & expensive, but all of the text is there and like the OP said i often read this from cover to cover.

I also have the second book (its more about weed & opium than hash) and will try get some of it scanned. DON'T get the 3rd book though, its disappointing.

As previously mentioned "hashish" by rob clark is also an amazing piece of work (not many photos though).

Oh and lastly, those caramelo's sure look good.

Thank you for these pictures. Gotta run but taggin this.

Be careful what you pay guys, HUGE mark-ups are being put on these books by GREEDY people.

Non of these books should cost more than £20 to £40 (30 to 60 bucks i think)

but get this.

I recently wrote to the contact email address on Mr Cherniaks website to inquire about a new copy of the 2nd book in normal soft-cover version (they also have hard cover copies). When i originally purchased it it was £20 in about 1990.

I almost spat my tea out when i got a reply quoting me $395 !!! What a complete rip off. Yea they are great books, especially the 1st, but come on, that's like £200 for something that should be £30.

There are other places to get these books though at the right price. In the uk grow-shops and seed company's often keep a stock from what i've seen as well as quite a few on-line book stores.
