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.
