  • Meh

    There are far better books out there with a lot more detail. A book with photos is very expensive. I was under the impression that this book had really great drawings of the plants. There are only a few drawings. The descriptions are minimal as well, but i was under the impression that the description of each herb/plant was far more detailed than it actually is. That is why i sought this book out and purchased it. Its okay, but thats about all i can say. Its definitely not what i thought it would be.

    Just what I was looking for very much more informative than I expected ! Color pictures would have been a major plus the current black & white are very accurate though
