SarahSarah: I was hoping for an in depth instructional book of how to prepare and use herbs. This book has very interesting information about the history of medicine, beautiful photos of each plant and lots of information. But then in the back it has very basic information about how to preserve the herbs and examples of which herbs to use for different symptoms. It's definitely a book I'll keep on our shelf but will need to find additional books

Sharon &.: I was a bit tentative about buying this book due to some of the negative reviews. However, I thought I could always return it if it’s falling apart or looked use, but I was worrying over nothing. I was impressed straightaway with the quality. DK are brilliant at producing cost-effective books with high resolution photos and informative text. The author has certainly done his homework, as the information provided on each herb is just right. The book is laid out alphabetically, using Latin names, the index (at the back) will guide you to the remedies and each ailment, along with the herbs more common names. There’s a large section on how to make use of the herbs for tinctures, decoctions, salves, ointment etc. I’ve already collected, dried and started to store a large amount of herbs for the leaner months and this week I’m starting on making a tincture, just got to buy the vodka ;-) The text is clear, the descriptions are concise and easy to understand. Not every herb is photographed, but we have Google and other apps on our phones to help, that would be my only slightly negative comment. I’ve learnt so much in the few days I’ve been reading the book. I would love to see...
