Too simplified, too few Ambermeadow I too, am a little disappointed. I was hoping for a more comprehensive book much like John Parkinson's original. It doesn't cover near enough herbs. While the pictures and layout are lovely, I would have preferred more herbs and uses. With Bible in the name, I expected a huge amount of herbs covered, both poisonous and the safe to use. Seriously needed a poisonous section for those who need to recognize them to be safe. If you are looking for a really good book for uses of herbs and descriptions, I suggest looking elsewhere.. "The drawings are great and make field identification easier than I thought possible" according to audio junkie. Very informative. The drawings are great and make field identification easier than I thought possible.. Jazzy said Five Stars. Great
