I bought this book second time. First I bought it for a friend a a Christmas present and recently I got it for myself. High quality photos and content! I have been interested in herbs and using them for a few years, and this book is the best I have got so far. It has a lot more information than any other books I have read so far. It contains a lot more herbs than any other books and the information about them covers a lot of aspects of growing and using herbs in the home environment. Considering the fact that is a hard cover book and with high quality photos and paper, I think the price is extremely good.
