We received the Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs and found it to be in better than advertised condition.
This is a great, very useful book, packed with information and lovely illustration, both photo and drawings.

Excellent book, vendor was ideal. June 27, 2010
Donald E. Smith (Morganton, NC)
Book was as described. Delivered quickly and in excellent condition. I would gladly reorder again from this vendor.
Book by Rodale Press is detailed for a great number of herbs. It details their uses in medicine, the kitchen or as a health and beauty aid. It discusses how to grow the herb and what to watch for. Very useful.
One of My Favorite Herb books April 30, 2010

1 out of 1 found this review helpful
There are so many things to love about this book.
The photographs are beautiful as well as helpful.
The organization is fantastic, first by keeping things alphabetical, but especially the divided sections about each herb.
Crafts, history, medical uses, chemical properties, and cautions, growing advice, etc. Since I am interested in all of these things, this quickly became a favorite book, and I have given it to many people over the years. It's great for gardeners, beginning herbalists, people who like to make crafts or gifts, and it's also fun to just read.
I especially like the section where they compare safe/dangerous ratings of several of the most commonly used herbs.
Love it. Great place to start, and a very pretty and useful gift.
One thing that could be a negative for some, it focuses on North American herbs and plants. For me, that was a plus, since I like to grow my own. Other people might want to read about my exotic herbs, and for them, this "local" focus could be disappointing.
 An array of information April 28, 2010
Erin Clavell (SLC, Utah)
is sharred in this book. At times, seeming a little overwhelming, but always full of the info you need want or desire. Amazing pictures, and excellent ideas!! This particular book, I bought as a gift, and is an awesome idea for the garden lover for any special occasion.
