Customer Reviews

If you are over thirty do NOT buy this book!

The book measures about 5"x5" square in hard cover, and the print is so tiny I cannot read it even with reading glasses. This is nuts and unnecessary. Don't wast your money!

Great book!

I got one of these for myself a year or two ago, and loved it - I was disappointed to learn it was out of print, so I got a used one to use as a gift for a friend. The book has all sorts of information, not only on traditional uses and meanings of herbs, but also how and where to grow them, cooking and medicinal uses... while there are dozens of herbs in this book, I only wish there were more! It's well-written, well-explained, and the pictures are great too.

an attractive and practical reference tool

The Herb Bible is a beautiful book both to look at and to read. It offers a comprehensive way to discover the wonderful world of herbs and how to grow them productively in your own garden or home. It is also a wonderful incentive to return to healthy, natural eating. It clearly and attractively outlines the uses and medicinal properties of many common herbs, what soil and environments the herbs require to grow successfully, and also includes many examples where each herb will enhance the tastes of certain dishes. The Herb Bible will quickly become a favorite reference book. It is both enjoyable and practical, and will constantly be off your bookshelf being put to good use.
