I was disappointed that there were no pictures in the book. I would like to know what the herb, mushroom or plant looks like, especially since i will have to purchase it. There were plenty of color pictures in all of the advertisement for the book. I must remember to look inside before I buy next time. The only reason I am not returning it is because I have the first book. Even a section in the back of the book with pictures would have been great. Thanks for the great recipes.
