Great book

Very informative

A great resource for anyone interested in herbs

This book is a definite must have for anyone interested in herbs. "Encyclopedia of Herbs and Their Uses" contains color photos of all entries (or at least all of the ones I have looked up so far), and also lists the different uses of each herb. I thought the layout of the book was very well planned, and I found that the book, in general, was very easy to use. This book meets my needs perfectly.

Smell The Other Plants Too

Best reference book I've ever read. Use this book whenever I see a plant I like and can't identify. Excellent pictorial and historical details. Wonderful tips for gardeners, herbalists and people who just love looking at plants.

A Best Book

If you have an interest in herbs this book is a must-have. It lists even the most obsure plants and gives each a very informative overview that includes both the historical and modern uses. -Linda Fry Kenzle, author of Gathering

Very informative

I was actually just looking for a book that would give me the names and medicinal properties of all the different Herbs. I was more than pleased to find that this book gives much more. It has cultivating, cooking and medicinal information as well as color photos and much much more. This book has all the information one would want or need.
