THE ONE,
By cellarstella (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Herb Book (Paperback)
I bought this book when I was 12 at a library sale for 25 cents. Since then, I've spent quite a bit more on herb books, but this is still the best of my collection! It's a fantasic reference book because you can look up herbs by common name, scientific name, and even by what ailments they treat. It doesn't contain much New Age spiritual information, which suits my scientific mind just fine. The author presents very logical arguments for making your own medicine/cosmetics/spices, whether purchased, home-grown, or wild-gathered. Just like other reviewers have stated, this is my number one resource on herbs, even with the development of the internet and google.

This review is from: The Herb Book: The Complete and Authoritative Guide to More Than 500 Herbs (Mass Market Paperback)
I have been working with herbs for fifteen years now, and this book has been invaluable through all of them. It includes medicinal and cosmetic uses of almost any herb you can think of, as well as traditional uses and some background. I've introduced several herbalist friends to it, and they now refuse to be without it. If you get only one book on herbs, make it this one.

The Best and Often Imitated,

This review is from: The Herb Book: The Complete and Authoritative Guide to More Than 500 Herbs (Mass Market Paperback)
I have been using my copy for thirty years now-- pages are yellowed and crunchy and glue is crackling. The descriptions and origins are great. Line drawings instead of water colors. So much info packed into one volume-- plant taxonomy, uses, recipes, tables galore, multiple indices, myths, legends. I teach herbal classes and this is always the first book I recommend!
