Aspirin: the Extraordinary story of a wonder drug by Diarmud Jeffreys

With the news that just a small daily dose of aspirin can help prevent many types of cancer, I expect chemists’ shelves have been stripped bare, so I thought you might be interested in this: Aspirin by Diarmud Jeffreys it has 5 x ****** reviews on Amazon including this “I didn’t expect to be gripped so thoroughly, even forgoing my usual Ian Rankin/Paricia Cornwell/Kathy Reichs books until it was finished!” praise indeed!
