[.uk] Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs (ISBN 087596964X)

The Best of the Bunch:
Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs is the best of the bunch. It gives a bounty of information on each of the many herbs listed: origin, uses, cultivation, lore, and much more. The illustrations, both drawings and color photos, are superb. The book does contain errors; it says, for example, that sassafras extracts are carcinogenic. But on the whole this book excels.

Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs:
This book has almost every herb you can think of with sugesstions on how to grow them and use them. It's awesome.

Bset Herb Book.:
I love this book. Not only does it tell you all about the herb it tells you what food it go's well with. I bought this book for my daughter when she started to grow her own herbs.

Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs:
A truly informative herbal book. The uses for herbs are endless. I enjoy the quick reference this book provides.

BEST all-round reference, on herbs!:
I have been in the herb plant business for 28 years, and find this to be the best general reference for herbs, especially for customers. I took it to farmers markets, where I was a vendor, and customers could look up recipes, cultural intructions, soil and growing tips, plus the wonderful color pictures. This book has always held a prominant spot in my herb books library. Sidebars--such as "chefs' tips","soil requirements",etc. One of the best publications from Rodale Press. (Multiple contributors.)
