I've just placed a request for an InterLibrary Loan of the below described book.

The bibliographical references are my real goal. I think I may have finally found the pepper data related "pot of gold" I've been searching for.

After searching through the records of the Library of Congress, I found a book that may contain a bibliographical listing of many books with detailed, referenced information resulting from studies of Hot Peppers.

Wish me luck!

Wow! I didn't notice any mention of price on the Library pages on I was on. I love the Inter-Library Loan service here in the USA. You can sign out any book in print for as much as a month for no cost. Just pluck the ISBN number from it on Amazon Books or Barnes and Noble and then get on the local library page and order it up. About two more weeks and I'll be reading it.

I'll keep the group updated on it's information as I read it.

It's odd that that is the only scientific book I could find in the Library of Congress on capsicum. I'd risk to say that there are lots of medical books and studies on it's use in medicinal research and practice.

Does anyone know someone who could check at a good medical university?

The next time I'm near the AG center here, I'll stop in and talk to one of the Master Gardeners that work there. They may have resources into the subjects specific to hot peppers.

Of all the subjects I've studied, this one seems the most difficult to gather technical data for.

In the Latin countries, I'll bet there is also lots of information available at AG places and universities. It's a shame I haven't learned Spanish yet.
 
i do miss interlibrary loan services...

morally reprehensible or not, that book is available in p2p networks (e.g. edonkey). good source full of techy stuff, probably not for the accidental gardener though.

there's plenty of capsicum info available in spanish, try: http://www.world-pepper.org/

I found it's price on Amazon. The only reason i don't use the Inter-Library loan service too much is the fact that i love to read and would much prefer to own the books as well. Seriously, i hate the fact of having to return books. But, at that price, i may just go do the loan service myself because i'm very curious about the book.

I read one or two books a week. On my income, I'd go broke if I bought them all.

Gotta save my money for drugs and wild wimmin.....hehe :lol:

I'm thinking seriously about buying the "Rosetta Stone" for Latin Spanish.

Has anyone used the Rosetta Stone software/books? If so, how did you do?

It would broaden my reading and communication ability tremendously. I want to talk to someone who has used it before I spend that kind of money.

Well, the book finally came in and I have it for a couple of weeks. It's got a wealth of information in it. I wish it didn't cost so damn much. I'd love to buy it, but at 129 bucks, it's out of my range for a book that's not even an inch thick. Way over priced.

I'll read as much as I can in the time I have. It's got some good references. I'll be checking out some of them.

I spend around 50 bucks for my techie books, but they have 1000+ pages of data and information in them. This one is pretty small for that type of price.

Why in the world would they price it like that? What a rip. It's like saying; "We'll make it available only to people that can afford the silly price tag we've put on it. That'll keep it from the lower class. What's up with that?
 
I think you hit the nail on the head of some of these `specialist` books at crazy prices are not for the mases..bet you've found some really intriguing info ;)
