I gave up on this book quickly. It may be fine for someone who is not actually going to do anything with the information but it is not a good resource for herbal information. The very first plant listed is aconite (monkshood), which is an incredibly poisonous plant. While it has a history of being used to kill many people, I would not put it in an herbal book. The next plant listed is African violet, which the book lists as edible. African violets are not edible, and are not true violets (which are edible and healthy). I cannot recommend this book for anyone really wanting to learn about herbs.

I read a temporary digital copy of this book for review.
