I'm looking for some good books on less common and well the more poisonous plants such as datura, belladonna, mandrake, etc. I'm not looking for anything on internal or external use as my interest is more of a "hey that's a nifty plant" than herbalist. Looking for books or other resources that touch on growing and safe handling. Not sure I will actually end up growing any of these plants but I'd like to read more about them.

Thank you!
