Another good book by Sybil

This is another good book by Sybil. If you get the chance, pick this up too, although, out of print, this book has a lot of details that she explains and a lot of folklore to go with it too. Great book..highyly recommended !

wonderful classic reference

Perhaps the most acclaimed (and sought after) book on herbs ever published. The book examines the history and uses (common and unique) of herbs in cosmetics, culinary, medicinal value, and more. It also covers the history of some noted herbalists. I have treasured this reference work for many, many years.
