4.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Woodcuts, But Limited in Some Ways, May 13, 2000

By	Monika Beckman (Mission Viejo, CA) - See all my reviews

As usual, Carol B. Grafton has edited another excellent book; this one has a little under 300 black-and-white copies of medieval woodcuts (?), which sounds like a lot but doesn't satisfy an obsessive medievalomaniac. The book is also relatively colorless. But for most people, this book will probably be satisfactory in the area of variety.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Herb design resource, June 15, 2008

By	Sonja McCart "Sayeua Bwnnok" (Redlands, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is just what I was expecting...a lot of line drawings reflecting the older woodcut style designs from medieval times of many plants and flowers, mostly of an herbal category. The printing is on glossy paper on one side of the sheet only. Some of the plant varieties have more than one drawing, but each is different. The designs are mostly 2" x 1.5", some larger. I was very pleased with the book. I will be using the drawings to scan and create my own herb and food labels, as well as labels for gifts.
