Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 9915 comments Mod
I'm a little confused by the book. There isn't any description, but based on the review it sounds like it is mostly pictures/recipes/maps. If so, I can't accept it sadly since cookbooks, picture books, etc. aren't allowed. :((

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Not a problem. We'll read another one. Thanks, Melanie!
