This handbook does give much information for those who want to not only dry herbs but some flowers too. There are directions in here for example on how to dry carnations and Queen Anne's Lace. There is a section of some nice colorful pictures, however, the identifications do not come until a few pages later. The illustrations of the herbs are done in black and white line drawings, which look nice, but it would be difficult to identify an unknown herb by them.

Six methods to dry herbs are explained and a basic list of tools needed is made clear. The lists of herbs has a page devoted to each where a little bit about the herb is detailed as well as the harvesting and drying and craft and uses in cooking suggestions. Strangely missing is oregano. There is an index to common and botanical names, as well as to pages in the book. There is much information in here that would be useful to someone who wished to dry herbs or even other small plants.

This is a nice book for someone like me who is a want-to-be herb dryer. It is interesting reading as it included herbs I would not have even thought about drying. I liked the idea of using the microwave for drying rather than a drying rack because I don't have a good area to place one.

this is a great book and a great value. on a fixed income and love getting books i want at a great price thanks

Once again this is a great book to add to your collection if you grow your own herbs, this book has almost everything in it. The seller I bought my book from is rated A1 in my book, they shipped fast and the book was in much better condition than I was expecting.
