Peeps, I've had this book in the queue, for most of the day, to post. But I've struggled long and hard, and then hard and long, about whether or not actually to go ahead and post it. Just one look at the subtitle would probably tell you why.

By posting this book, I am not trying to "push an agenda" (and I try to avoid making a post of a book for that purpose, unless I plan to balance it out with the post of a book which more-or-less advocates an opposite position or conclusion). If my effort is successful, when you read this post, you will not know what position that I take on the views of this book. Why? Well, keep in mind that when people or groups come out and say exactly what they believe or advocate, sometimes it "turns people off," more than it convinces people. Sometimes people are all too glad to let you know exactly what a group or person believes, because they know that it will be damaging, and not helpful or productive, for that person or group. That very well could be the case here.

I have a bookmark in my web browser to check this website, called unglue.it, every day. I think that it was today in which the following book was posted. I don't that that all of the books on unglue.it are free, but it appears that those which aren't on on unglue.it's bucket list to get the funding to make them free. From what little that I know about the organization which runs this website, they come up with money, from donors, to offer to copyright holders of books in order to convince them to let their books be made available for free on unglue.it's website, via a Creative Commons license. And, if I understand it correctly, when they offer a book free, it is not a deal-of-the-day kind of thing--here today, and gone tomorrow, but unglue.it continues to offer the book free either permanently or indefinitely. You can find, on unglue.it's homepage a portal, of sorts, to the free ebooks that they have featured in the past, and are still available free at this time.

Just because these books on unglue.it are free on that website does not mean that they will be free elsewhere. For example, the least expensive copy at Amazon of this book in any format would run you about 18 bucks. It apparently is not available in any digital format, at Amazon at least, at any price.

Oh, let me add that the stated author, Sage-Femme Collective, appears not be a real publisher even though they describe themselves that way (see the title page). When I Googled Sage-Femme Collective, in fact, all that I saw were hits about this book! Doing a little further research, I noticed that this group is "an anonymous group of professional researchers, herbalists, and individuals involved in the women's self-help movement." That's why this book is not posted on the Non-Fiction thread, but posted on a thread in which self-published books are allowed.

Here's the post.
