I Highly Recomend This Book

I have managed a book store and currently work in one of the largest public libraries in the south. I have seen many books on using herbs for health and medical reasons. This is by far one of the best. For the last ten years I have recomended this book both personally and profesionally. It is really not for the beginner, but if you are familiar with herbs, this is a book for your collection.

Great Herb Source

I am buying this book again because my last copy is so worn. I have found this book to be extremely helpful to me. I am not necessarily well versed although I have done my own personal studying on this subject matter. It has helped me enormously in the information as well as the format. I do not find it cumbersome at all.
