growing out of your ears
This is splendidly illustrated book of every herb you might dream of. The remarks on each are pertinent and I could hardly imagine more colourful artwork. A word of warning though; the slant is very much to the 'medical' ; less about cooking than some might want and certainly not enough about growing conditions for gardeners. There is a little too much of the 'may alleviate certain forms of cancer' for the liking of some and slightly too little botany. But any book that teaches one that alfalfa was given to Arab horses as they saw it gave them a fillip or finally sorts out which mint is which should be on any shelf; be it kitchen or bathroom.
First rate though.
