Get this book before you spray your weeds.
I knew about a lot of “weeds” in my yard, dandelion, dock etc. that are great to eat and loaded with vitamins, but other beneficial medicinal ones I wasn’t so sure of are in this book. Great detail on how to prepare and dry them also included. Well worth the money spent.

Good info, hard to use.
There is no list of the herbs in the table of contents. The herbs themselves are not in alphabetical order, or any order I can see. The headings are not noticeable enough to see which herb is on that page. I actually created my own list of herbs, with page numbers, and wrote the name of the herb at the top of the page. Silly to have to spend so much time doing all this in order to make the information useful!

I love this book. It is a good reference to have on hand. Not overwhelming and simple to use, you can find an herb and options for use. I love alternative remedies, and this has a few I have not seen before. You can never have too many herbology books. I will look for more from this author and publishing.The book itself is hard cover with nice color pages. Glad that some books are still quality.Good size not too big so easily portable for moving around. If you have a passion for herbs, get it.
