Dear Friends and Family,

I'm thrilled to announce that my book, Medicinal Plants of the Southern 
Appalachians, is about to go to press.  It's being published by my newly 
formed publishing company, BotanoLogos Books. Very exciting!

The book is already attracting wonderful attention (see below).

I'm writing to ask for your help as I make the final push. Every book sold 
before the book is printed lowers the cost of the first run.  When you 
purchase one or more copies now, as soon as the books are released in 
January, I'll send you a signed copy; and you'll be one of the first to 
own a first edition of the book.

In order for your purchase to support this crucial last stage of 
production, please send in your orders as soon as you possibly can. 
Consider getting additional copies for your local library, friends, family 
and colleagues.  I will be more than happy to sign and/or personalize each 
volume you order and ship it directly to anyone per your instructions.

You may want to give a gift certificate for the book, which is an 
attractive greeting card displaying the book's front cover with a hand 
written note from me inside. I will mail the gift card immediately after 
hearing from you.

You may phone me at (706) 746-5485 to place your order using Visa or 
MasterCard or to let me know you are sending a check.  Scroll down for 
pricing details.

My sincerest thanks for your support. I hope you like the book!

Here's wishing you wonderful holidays and all the best in the New Year,

Patricia Kyritsi Howell


Advance Praise for Medicinal Plants of the Southern Appalachians...

"This is one volume that I want to own as we enter the post-corporate age: 
a priceless guide to Southern plant alchemy. This practical yet enchanting 
botanical brings an ancient art to modernity.  These pages are as rich as 
the cove forests they honor. Even to peruse Howell's manual is healing, 
and exhilarating, not only because of the book's inherent beauty, but 
because it contains vital knowledge all of us will need as fossil fuels 
dwindle and we return to the local. One day this book may save your life."
     Janisse Ray, author of Ecology of a Cracker Childhood, Wild Card 
Quilt,
     and Pinhook: Finding Wholeness in a Fragmented Land

"An elegant introduction presented in a clear-as-a-bell style that 
educates as well as entertains."
     Peter Loewer, author of The Wild Gardener and Jefferson's Garden

"There are many comprehensive volumes about medicinal plants in other 
regions of North America but none for the botanically rich southeast. Now, 
a widely experienced and knowledgeable herbalist has written a thorough 
guide to the virtues of Yellow Root, Rabbit Tobacco, Dogwood Bark, Sweet 
Fern and other better known herbs of the region. From Howell's book, 
readers can learn to use local plants safely and consciously to improve 
the health of their families or patients."
     David Winston, RH (AHG)
     Dean, Herbal Therapeutics School of Herbal Medicine

"An excellent, much needed resource on Southeastern herbs. Well thought 
out and easy to follow."
     Tim Blakely, co-author of The Bootstrap Guide to
     Medicinal Herbs in the Garden, Field and Marketplace

"I often remind veterinarians that the foundation of botanical medicine 
lies in the experience of learning all aspects of medicinal plants 
thoroughly. This book guides the reader out of the classroom into the 
fields and forest where plants become, to the student, more  tangible 
sources of healing. Recommended for any practitioner who wants to deepen 
their understanding of our native apothecary."
     Susan Wynn, DVM, RH (AHG), Executive Director,
     Veterinary Botanical Medical Association
