A great quick reference
It's contained price along with a very practical and handy layout makes this book a must have. It's great for the beginner and usefull for the more expert readers. It has many colorful illustrations not common for books in this price range. It contains all the essential facts about Herbs with some interesting historical references. I wish more books were written this way. Quick and easy to read.

Packed with useful information
101 Medicinal Herbs, by Steven Foster, is chuck-full of useful information never made public before. New and Old World, as well as Asian species are covered in detail. Even the lowly chickweed, used by British folks to soothe cuts and sores, is described in detail. Herbs are alphabetically arranged by common names (scientific names are included), and illustrated with exquisite photographs, making it easy for the novice or professional botanist to key out species.
