P. McVay said Definitive Herb Book!. If you could only own one book on herbs, this would be the book to own. It tells you how to grow,harvest, preserve the herbs and many, many uses for each herb that is included in the book.

(I guess they loved it, too) I ordered another copy about a year and a half ago and (when will I ever learn?) lent it out to not be returned, AGAIN! I finally ordered this third copy and am not loaning it out to anyone. I love the pictures, the herb garden plans and, most of all, the recipes for food, cosmetics and dyes. A keeper in my book. (And at least two other people's as well!!!). M L Hill said Great book. A really beautiful and useful book if you want to both plant and use your herbs. Well organized, beautifully illustrated. Nice advice on planting and harvesting. I'm very glad I bought it!
