This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in herbal remedies. I glimpsed through this ebook several times before I realized I needed a physical copy. The book is massive in size and information. I appreciate the drawing of leaves with descriptions for each. In fact, there is a drawing for many of the herb entries. This book is a valuable reference book and plan on spending many days pouring through the entries.

The Information on each herb is a wee bit sparse for my liking, but I think it's a great idea to have an index of both the common and latin names of each herb. That way, no matter what you have in mind, you will find the right page.
If you are not yet in Possession of a herbal encyclopedia, I think this is a great buy. As I myself have various already though, some with quite a bit more indepth Information (but not as broad a choice of herbs) I don't think I'm quite the suitable audience.
