The Misty Manor, Mercers

The reference for wild edible, medicinal, and otherwise useful plants of the Ozarks: Three hundred pages of entries, references, recipes and preparations, photos and sketches.

A copy of Pages From An Ozark Herbal 1st Edition and the current 2nd Edition Draft plus other reference materials on a convenient CD-ROM for off-line use. Perfect for folks with poor Internet connections, to use on travel or when you don't have access to the Internet, for international customers who cannot buy through Scribd, and for people who just want everything in one package. Especially useful for creating classroom materials and handouts.

The CD contains the First Edition as a full copy of the online HTML and in a single PDF document, the 2nd Edition Draft manuscript as PDF (available separately from Scribd) and as its full Lyx source including higher resolution copies of all photos and illustrations for reuse in teaching materials. The CD also contains copies of several related articles, additional references which are either out-of-copyright or freely redistributable, and anything else we think might be useful. It is a complete herb and wild-crafting classroom on disk.

None of the CD-ROM contents are copy-protected or in any way booby-trapped to prevent you from making full use of the materials. Content written by Eric Vought is licensed for personal, educational, and non-commercial use. Content created by others may be subject to other terms.

The CD-ROM will usually lag somewhat behind the current online draft.
