I have a copy - picked it up about a month ago at a local bookstore. 
(Bookpeople) What would you like to know? It's got some really great 
illuminations explaining the effects of flowers, herbs, food, and a 
couple of other things on human health. (the copy I have even has an 
illumination of "coitus"!) It gives the "nature", "usefulness", 
"dangers", and "neutralization of the dangers" of each item.

In case you're curious, the publisher's address is on the back. It's 
George Braziller, Inc, 171 Madison Avenue, New York NY 10016. The isbn 
is: 0-8076-1277-4
