The last time I took psuedoephedrine, I was bouncing
off the walls, and shaking like a bowl of Jell-O in a
California Earthquake...  Didn't clear up my sinuses,
but I was able to paint my house in one day... :)

Seriously, though...the book sounds fascinating.  One
comment from me, though, if you don't mind a little
third party input:  In regards to game animals, I
would suggest showing pictures of the Primal Cuts,
rather than the live animal.  I have never found a
live (or whole) game animal in a supermarket (Asian or
otherwise), but I have been able to find/order certain
Primal Cuts.  The Primal Cuts (for those who don't
know) are the basic "chunks", or first pieces the
carcass is cut into when it is slaughtered.
