BOOK ARCHIVE INDEX
Earthman Complete Files
Central inventory for Earthman’s Journey into Traditional Herbal Medicines, Second Edition, by Paul Augustus Hay. This archive is intended to keep the manuscript, earlier review drafts, cover artwork, transcripts/companion materials, and publisher requirements organized together.
Archive status — important: The file inventory and publication requirements are being recorded in the Earthman site backend. The original manuscript and cover binaries have not yet been copied into the website's downloadable file storage; the Library transfer was blocked by the account storage limit. Download buttons are therefore not shown for files that are not actually hosted here. This avoids broken or misleading links.

Publication requirements and handoff checklist
- Confirm final trim size and paper/ink choice before locking cover dimensions.
- Confirm ISBN and imprint/publisher metadata.
- Reconcile final page count with the actual print interior; regenerate the spine/full-wrap cover from the confirmed page count.
- Review title, author name, dedication, contents, chapter numbering, running headers, page numbering, references, plant directory, and index for consistency.
- Reconcile reference count and plant-record count; verify image permissions and rights lines, including author-owned Sierra Leone church photographs.
- Run the final interior and cover together through Amazon KDP Print Previewer; fix all warnings and inspect the proof before release.
- Keep traditional-use claims clearly distinguished from clinical evidence; keep historical claims sourced and separate established facts from author interpretation.
- Preserve the original approved Earthman Herbals logo, colors, and typography unless the owner authorizes a change.
- Do not describe this package as Amazon-approved or published until the actual KDP checks and publication steps are complete.
