Some twenty years and a couple of dozen herbals later, it is still the best for the comprehensiveness of its treatment of the subject. If you want to know how to grow herbs, get the Ortho book. For anything else, this is the one book to have if you could only have one.Help other customers find the most helpful reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars My cornerstone book on Herbs!, 1 Jan 1999The Herb Book is the very first book I purchased on the subject. That was eleven or so years ago and since then I’ve bought quite a few more..but I always refer back to it for more information and to look up an herb or two that another book might have missed. It’s absolutely excellent..the only problem I have with it is that it’s paperback and the cover has long since fallen off!( Plus my Rabbit got ahold of it and ate the last pages of the index) Other than that, this book should be on everyone’s shelf!(Saved me a lot of money on OTCs!)5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, 24 Jun 1997I don’t know if I totally agree with the publishers evaluation of the book (so I am persnickty and hate anything that says most complete *grin*), but, I do like it, and I would recommend that anyone interested in herbs buys a copy. Mine is becoming severely dogeared and is going to have to be replaced in the near future. But for short, quick references and coverage of a LOT of herbs this book is great. Please contribute back by OCRing and Spellcheck/Proofreading this book.I recommend ABBYY Finereader 10 for doing this work in a relatively easy way.If you plan to do that please leave a comment here so the effort won’t be duplicated by others. Please post back the final pdf and I’d also appreciate the project files as well (please PM if you do).
