History of Arsenic
Unsurprisingly this book covers the history of arsenic. Book overall was interesting and a quick read. There is a good source list at the end for further reading and author documents sources very well. The end is very abrupt and some transitions were odd. Enjoyed very much overall.

King of Poisons.
I found this book very interesting, although I'd read a lot of the information about arsenic elsewhere. I'd certainly recommend it to those readers just starting on the subject of toxicology.
