As for myself, I'm looking forward to printing out the herbal and 
balneological sections onto bifolios, cutting them out like a facsimile 
edition, and trying to shuffle them into the correct order like the jigsaw 
puzzle that they are. :-)

I'm sure this would make much more sense than trying to do things one 
smudge at a time (which is how I've been tackling it to date). :-o

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
