I'm so proud to be included in this fine company! And my new son-in-law, for whom the book was a wedding gift, is loving it! He's especially interested in the Ethiopian recipes since they moved from eclectic Oakland, with great Ethiopian, to white-bread Pleasant Hills. But I'm already missing the book so I'm going to borrow it back while they go on their honeymoon to New Zealand. Thank you for such a jam-packed treasure!

Sorry for any confusion,possibly due to too much toxic smoke still in my brain.I'm aware of postage increases Gavin...but the amount dazzled me.I don't get out of the cave much.Let's go with the ''softcover'' order regardless.This is a very special book,after all.

Gavin...excuse the delay in response.I've been busy inside railroad safety investigation.Ha,the ''time frame.'' You are doing just fine.My books have been ready to roll for 28 years(...and,some are still ''in process.'') Meanwhile,you definitely ''carry-the-torch.'' P.S.Do you accept credit cards or checks? I want a signed copy as soon as you print- out.Faith-in-a-Seed!

Congratulations! ^_^

Please know that I think you're terrific, and I very much like your writing and info... I am going through some VERY crazy things right now, so wanted to say that I'll be out of touch for a time, but-- not that I'm some kind of Big Support-- I'll be off dealing with it for a while. Best of luck, and hopefully I'll be back on board soon. xo

OH!!! This is so beautiful, Gavin, and the chapters you've posted are so deep and meaningful. The connections between everything are something you elucidate so clearly, you little mycelium network, you. The first accolade puts it so perfectly, and I'm honored to be among all the other excellent and perceptive readers. I didn't know Tessa was in your readership, but that makes perfect sense!

I'm eager for the print version and happy to report that plans are being made for the newlywed daughter and her husband to take over my house in a year or two, with the garaj mahal upgraded for me and other improvements. So we won't have to fight over who gets custody of your lovely book and seeds as their wedding present! We can develop the garden here together. Yay!

On another note, now that you have more time, I'm still hoping for your Tonic Masculinity essay. Some of the usurpers of my phrase have become known as 'the Tonic 7' in a recent interview, and I'm wanting to reclaim its original meaning of a society that puts children at the center, surrounded by women, surrounded by men. You and Charles Eisenstein embody this, which doesn't require one's own children but creating the world we want for all of them.

Congrats on this great accomplishment! It really does change everything to claim your identity as an author, something you've been for a long time of gestation but have now given birth!

Gavin!! I am SO HAPPY for you! Congratulations!! I know that your heart and soul will be felt in the pages of your book, both in words and pictures. I don't use an e-reader, but I anxiously await the printed version where I can happily underline, make exclamation points, and take notes in the borders. I already know it will be one of my favorite plant books. The trees are bowing down to you, and Queen Yarrow says "thank you!" 🌿xo

Alright Gavin...MANY CONGRATULATIONS! I have some idea what it required..and,what went into it.Passion Creates...and,in-it's-own-time.Look forward to the HC....my older eyes spend too much time online,as is.Can you give the HC price...for I'm definitely saving-up? Looking around here at your work and the comments...it's heart-warming seeing another evolution on the spiral beyond that of my Earth-loving & tending Hippie Generation.Keep-on-trucking,and always...''FAITH-IN-A-SEED!''

I bought a copy and downloaded something that doesn't open. Just FYI. There does seem to be a problem. I haven't emailed yet.

Hey Gavin.

If I buy your book, it looks interesting, is it going to be DRM protected? I don't think you can apply DRM to a PDF but I'm not sure. No DRM allowed on my equipment. I don't know what that closed source crap software is going to do on my puter and I have no way of knowing. i.e. if it is DRM protected, I can't read it.

If it isn't you sold a copy, and I got to rant about DRM.

Win, win.

I am just grateful that i have ordered both the ebook and the printed copy. I will now have access whether i am on a device or sitting in my cozy chair. Thank you for all the time, effort and heart that you put into this book. This is wonderful news!
