SC - Re Gerard's Herbal

[Acanthusbk at aol.com]

Hello,

The Dover facsimile of Gerard's Herbal is not out of print, nor is it close 
to going out of print. Dover has a huge stockpile of these in inventory. See
http://www.acanthus-books.com/herorgenhiso.html

It's pretty horrifying to hear that Dover is referring customers to Amazon. 
FYI, to those of you who buy books online, do yourself a favor and see

http://www.addall.com

and

http://www.bookfinder.com

two search engines for online book shopping price comparisons. Jeff Bezos has 
fooled consumers into thinking Amazon.com has everything available, at the 
best price. Wrong on both counts. And speaking of scams, don't get me started 
on Alibris.
