I saw this book advertised and was very interested, then saw the price... nearly $100. Then received it as a gift. This book is a reference guide to many common plants that I never imagined would have good healing properties. However, there are other excellent comprehensive herbal books on the market for a fraction of the price. This book contains numerous grammatical, and typographical errors, and inconsistent formatting. If you're going to list at that ridiculous price, then at least get your spelling and formatting correct! Also reader beware, & do further research on any plant listed. For instance regarding the Aloe Vera plant, the author completely omits the info about the yellow latex that seeps from the leaf & can cause serious health issues.
