I don't want to put a "hold for" tag on it. If nobody takes it in a week
or so, when I've finished the book I'm doing, I'll be happy to validate
it. But if someone else would like it, please feel free to take it.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Submitted Herbal Handbook
Just submitted The Green Pharmacy Herbal Handbook by James A. Duke.
I have done hours and probably days and days worth of work
pre-validating and perfecting this gem of a book. It has been read
through, headers stripped, page numbers protected and junk characters
removed. All fractions and numbers have been verified and are correct.
It has LOADS of Latin words.
Here's the back cover info:
In this handy companion to his best-selling book The Green Pharmacy,
leading herbal authority James A. Duke, Ph.D.., delivers the lowdown on
virtually every healing herb available in today's marketplace: its
description and history, therapeutic uses, medicinal properties,
prescription counterparts, dosage options, safety and effectiveness
rating, and precautions.
Dr. Duke's inimitable folksy tone and friendly manner shine throughout
The Green Pharmacy Herbal Handbook, making it as entertaining to read as
it is practical. The most thorough,and comprehensive herb reference of
its kind, the handbook was culled from the thousands of entries in Dr.
Duke's database of the world's medicinal plants. The database, which he
began during his career as a top botanist with the USDA, is a lifelong
project for Dr. Duke and has become a major reference resource for
herbalists worldwide.
Happy Validating!
