Jan/Feb 2017 issue - The Essential Herbal

 You'll enjoy this issue.  It's pure Essential Herbal, cover to cover.  We have some fascinating articles AND a retrospective that includes a big, bold bite of every single one of the previous 15 Jan/Feb issues.  You'll be amazed how much can be packed into these pages!
We have a couple announcements to make for the new year.

1 - Unfortunately the cost of shipping to Canada is now $18/year.  We'll only be accepting PDF orders to Canada after 1/1/17.
2 - Because our printer has struggled all year to keep up with our schedule, we've moved everything up 2 weeks.  Our deadlines used to be the 15th of every other month, but are now the 1st of every other month.  This should get us back on track.
