Don't get scammed: A Reminder to Purchase LEGAL copies

Great site for books and more on almost every topic
Found a website called I found tons of stuff on homesteading, herbal medicine, homeopathy and everything else you can think of.

I’m now getting a collection together. Looking forward to…

A special find.
I attended a local jumble/garage sale yesterday, on the lookout for something handy. Well something handy I found.

Essential Oil Safety book

Are there other less expensive comparable resources? I've taken some essential oil classes and know the safety basics and am always looking to learn more just not…
