Robots don't format,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Old English Herbals (Paperback)
The text looks as if it needs to be formatted. Spaces between words are missing, random characters are included at the beginning of lines, indentations are off. The book is illegible. A notice in small print says that the original rare book has been scanned by a robot. I think that any robot worth his salt would be insulted by this statement.

By writer "reviewer" (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Old English Herbals (Paperback)
The knowledge presented in this book is informative and interesting. The references and quotes from many of the great herbalists, including Gerard, Parkinson, Turner, etc. are extensive. However, the one major drawback is that there are no illustrations from any of the works mentioned. The book itself, I am certain, contains illustrations; but, these have not been scanned for the Kindle version. A pity, as I was looking forward to seeing how these plants had been illustrated by ancient herbalists.
