Pretty - but not useful,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lavender: Growing & Using Lavender for Fragrance, Mood & Body Care (Hardcover)
Attractive small hardcover book, only 70ish pages, mostly not useful if you are looking to grow lavender. A few recipes and uses for lavender - mostly pictures in book.
