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!
