It was decent

Well, the pictures certainly make it a little easier to identify stuff in the wild, and the dye references, and growing guides are helpful. I am not a very adept gardener so I need all the help I can get. What dissapointed me most was the fact that each herb is limited to a one page section (except for the exotic and poisonous herbs). I was hoping to actually have information on the medicinal uses and at least guidlines on how to prepare them for use. It amazed me that it gives instructions on the harvesting of opium, but has next to no information on the medicinal preparation of plants.

Good Graphics But a Tad Thin On Text...

Bright Greetings, In my humble opinion, there is no one book to encompass herbalism in its entirety...but if you are willing to combine two books may I suggest using this book in conjunction with Paul Beyerl's "A Compendium of Herbal Magick". Paul's book is full of information regarding Magick, history and lore...but contains no pictures. If you couple his book with the herbal guide Reader's Digest sells, you won't be disappointed. The RD book is loaded with both photos and drawings, and together they make a very informative team! May Your Path Be Blessed, Morgana

A favorite book in my collection for over 10 years

I have owned this book since 1987. It is still a favorite in my collection. There is always something new and wonderful each time I open it. It is brilliantly descriptive and very useful as a field guide. I continue to give copies as gifts.
