In answer to Margaret Ariel's query re: Val Cushing's Handbook,send $22.00
to 1497 Waterwells Rd., RR 1,Box 236, Alfred Station' N.Y., 14803.
Hope this helps, Debby Grant, back on the list after being cut off because
of too much backload of Email while I was away in Florida attending Val
Cushing's
workshop in Boca Raton..

PLEASE NOTE - price of CUSHING'S HANDBOOK is $24 (not $22) which
INCLUDES shipping. TIA

He told us $22 ($20 for the book and $2 for shipping) at the workshop. That's
what I sent. I got the book about two weeks later.

Ian Macmillan on sun 6 jun 99

I have seen several references in the list to the " Val Cushing Handbook ".

Could someone tell me the exact title of this book so I can look for it?

Thanks
Ian

It is just called CUSHING'S HANDBOOK. You can get one by writing to
Val Cushing, 1497 Waterwell Rd., Alfred, NY 14807. They sell them themselves.
About $24, last I knew.

Dannon Rhudy

Its called "Cushing's Handbook", and if you call the pharmacy in Alfred
New York they'll send you one. Sorry I don't have the telephone
number. I called information and got the number to the Alfred U.
bookstore and they told me the number of the pharmacy in town. All
strange to me.

Val Cushing retired from Alfred five or six years ago, so I wouldn't send
inquiries there.

Karen Gringhuis knows Val, and last year she provided this information:

Does anyone know if I can still give a call up to Alfred, NY to purchase
one of these? The last thread I can find speaking about doing so was
dated 2008. If anyone has a current number or way for me to purchase
this, I would appreciate hearing about it.

thanks,
