Good evening and thank you for joining me for another boring books for bedtime.

I hope tonight selection provides all the boredom your busy brain needs to quiet down and let you get some sleep.

Before we begin, I'd like to give a special shout out of thanks to some new members of our Patreon family. Cindy, Madeline, and a special happy birthday shout out to Penny from Ali who bought you a

Patreon membership as a gift which is pretty adorable. Thank you all so much

for supporting this podcast.

By becoming members of Patreon, you help us remain 100% listener supported

and ad free for everyone. And it's very much appreciated.

And because you supported us in the month of May,

all of you will be entered into a raffle at the end of the month, the prize for which is our first ever

offer of some swag. This time we'll be having multiple winners, so if you want to find out more about what's available, check out our links for

Patreon or buy me a coffee.com in the show description. Good luck and

thanks to all of our supporters this month.

Now, let's read and relax.

Find a comfortable spot.

Adjust your volume.

Take a nice deep breath in.

Let it out slowly, and off we go.

Tonight, let's relax with a handbook to some of the world's greatest treasures. Spices, their histories.

Valuable information for Grocers.
