Summary: The definitive text, in English anyway
Comment: Remarkably similar in content and appearance to "L'absinthe : histoire de la fee verte" by Marie-Claude Delahaye, who runs the Absinthe Museum in Auvers-sur-Oise, north of Paris. She recalls providing Mr. Conrad with much of the artwork and other content, and was a bit miffed at her modest credit in the bibliography.
Her book is a much more detailed history, but it's in French and hard to find, so this is a quality English guide to a legendary vice. If you get to Paris, though, go see the museum for more.

Summary: An absinthe artistic panorama
Comment: When I had my first glass of absinthe maybe two years ago, I ordered this gorgeous book. It's a time travel showing the history of absinthe through the life of artists who drank it. To my knowledge, it's the best english language book on the subject. Fully illustrated. Unfortunately it's a paper back.

Summary: A wonderful history and reference
Comment: A very readable history on the mysterious green liquor, this book portrays a historical account of the rise and fall of mainstream Absinthe. Wonderfully illustrated with posters, liquor ads, labels, photographs, drawings, and paintings influenced by the Green Fairy around the turn of the century. It also gives insight into its ultimate demise. Slightly disappointing, there is not a lot of information on the discovery of Wormwood and the effects of consumption of the notorious plant.
