5.0 out of 5 stars I still used mine, June 22, 2008

This review is from: Taylor's Guide to Herbs: A Fully Illustrated Encyclopedia of More Than 400 Useful, Interesting, and Ornamental Herbs (Taylor's Gardening Guides) (Paperback)

I've used mine so much, it's falling apart. I was looking to replace it, but to my dismay, it's out of print.

This book is very informative and it has a decent photo guide in the center for the most popular herbs. I bought this book and then became hooked on cultivating herbs.

I don't know if I'll find a decent replacement. Too bad.
