The 70% markdown is from the digital list price.

This book does include recipes, quite a number of them in fact. They are international in scope. Along with the food recipes, there are also recipes for a lot of different concoctions that you probably don't want to eat. Really interesting book!

Don't let the fact that this is a self-published title fool you--this is a great book. Why hasn't a major publisher gotten a hold of it? I dunno.

I'm sure that if you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can get one at Amazon. A to Z and all of that. ha.

Alchemy of the Mortar & Pestle (The Culinary Library Book 1). By D. Gramp; P. Gramp. Rated 4.4, from 22 reviews at Amazon at the present moment. Print list price $19.95; digital list(?) price $9.99; Kindle price now $2.99. Amazon Digital Services, publisher. 142 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Alchemy-Mortar...rary+Book+1%29.
