Not a beginner's book, but a real, how-to medicinal herbal. NO DISCOUNTS! My margin on this item is quite low compared to most things I sell. If you ask for a cheaper price, I will ignore you. If I took offers, the listing would say that, but obviously I have to state this in writing: No offers accepted. I already have the lowest price on ebay. Shipping: USPS Media or Priority mail. I will combine shipping whenever possible. Thanks for Looking and Many Blessings!
