SC - SPECIFIC DETAILS on ANISE and FENNEL

[Ron and Laurene Wells]

I'm never sure if I should answer a quote at the top or the bottom???

Anyway, I know I answered this once before, but due to another exercise I 
was working on yesterday I became much more adept at using the www.dk.com 
web site and I can now give you the SPECIFIC pages from this book I quoted 
so that you can see the pictures and the COMPLETE text (as I only quoted 
parts of it) for yourselves.  I hope some of you find this helpful!

On the bottom where it says Look Inside, and shows a few pre-selected 
pages, to the right there is a little box you can type.  Type these page 
numbers (one at a time) and press GO.

Page 441 and Page 551

I think you will LOVE this book!  I know I do!  Hope you enjoy looking at 
the pages online this way, though is it much slower than turning the pages 
yourself in your hand. 1092 pages are a LOT of pages to turn, too.  Anyway, 
have fun!
