If so I don't think you can hold the new "Herb Free" TFH accountable. David Boruchowitz has really tried to change TFH (mag)and IMO he is doing a good job. I can't speak for the books coming out but I have actually re-subscribed to TFH the first time in well over a decade. If you have not seen it lately go pick up an issue.
