Excellent book! Informative, easy to read, this one has earned a permanent place on the bookshelf. It's a shame that this one is out of print, as many will miss out on the plethora of valuable information that Ms. Mars provides. I find all of her books to be of this same quality. Any book that she writes will be on my bookshelf. Highly recommended if you can get a copy.

My whole ambition started from wishes on Dandelions and I have loved them all my life, I thought them to be the most beautiful flower because they have a wish ball. My wish come true as an adult to have my own business, at the time I didn't know I would be an Herbalist, but I am. In honor of my favorite I named my business Dandelion and I bought this book because I was certain that all I knew about Dandelion's and their incrediable ability to heal would be in it. Guess what?...It was and more. Brigette Mars has not put this book back into reprint, so it is worth a lot more money than when it was originally sold and I had to pay a lot for my copy. It is a rare and collectable book not to mention all the information within the pages. I treasure this book on a knowledge and sincere level and you could buy it off of me. A great book, quick read and ready to unshelf for sharing with anyone young and old. They'll give you a corky look at first and then they too will be enlightened and surprised. Great Book!
