All these books have been scanned at 1200 dpi then converted into the
Adobe Acrobat file. This way they are AUTHENTIC and look and feel just
like they did then as each page is turned. Every page is actually a
digital picture of each page as opposed to the text. They can also be
printed and re-bound. You will be looking at a one of a kind re-print
of an antique book, and it doesn't have the fragile rag pages.
All books are complete (no pages missing).
Instead of a bunch of high priced books on the shelf, now one thin CD.
All we could get on a single CD-ROM from the sands of time and still
only $25.00 postpaid.
All the CD-ROM's are created on Verbatim recordable blanks with a
Hewlett Packard CD-R Writer in a single session and sent in our jewel
case. Both IBM compatibles and Mac's CD-ROM readers will read the
data.
The Acrobat Reader can be downloaded from Adobe's Web page.

Included - Cultural images for the Botanist, Biologist, Herbalist,
Physicians, Agriculturist, Nutritionist, Desktop Publisher, Students,
Etc..
Over 2500 images utilizing the directory of plates that have many
images on each sheet and the cut and paste option from the digital
books.
1200 single images in the PLANT directory that are named as close as
possible to their name as the default file name. For instance, the
Safflower plant is named SAFFLWER.TIF. Each image opened will also
show the common name as well as the scientific name for easy
identification.
Serious inquiries please as we are working on another CD-ROM of doctor
books, Anatomy Clip Art, etc..
