Customer Reviews

Huge, but worth the effort of picking it up
OK, this book may seem a little expensive at first, but you get an awful lot of book for your money. It's a very large format and very thick to boot.

If you have any interest at all in herbs or historical medicine this book will be of use to you. It has been put together as a fairly faithful reproduction of the original and thus often requires some effort when reading, but that just adds to its charm.
