---------------------------- Dear e-druggers, USP DI is considered to be an authoritative source of unbiased drug information and is used in many countries around the world. I have several copies of the 1997 editions of USP DI Volume 1 'Drug Information for the Health Care Professional' and Vol.2 'Advice for the Patient - Drug information in lay language' which I can ship to interested groups primarily in developing countries. Please note that one set of books are available for U.S. Dollars 3.00 ONLY (original price over U.S. Dollars 200.00 each set). However, it is very expensive to ship the books overseas from the U.S. It costs U.S. Dollars 40.00 (approx.) to air mail one set (both Vol. 1 and Vol.2) to Pakistan. Anyone interested to receive the book has to pay/arrange mailing costs in U.S. Dollars. Ideally, I would prefer if any organization/agency supports us by bearing the shipping costs for mailing the books in developing countries. For example, last year Christian Medical Commission in Geneva helped distribution of the books in Kenya and WHO/PAHO in Latin American countries. Also, a few individuals in the U.S. took the books with them to groups in developing countries as a personal baggage when traveling and attending meetings or paid for the shipment. Individuals or groups interested in receiving USP DIs should write to me DIRECTLY (email: ra@usp.org) as soon as possible and so should organizations who are willing to support distribution by paying shipping cost. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY to the E-DRUG address. Many thanks.
