Platinum standard for plant reference books
By WY or Bust!
I have a pretty decent collection of books on plants and herbology, bushcraft, gardening, and naturopathic medicines. all the typical stuff and even a few that I'd call pretty decent. this series BLOWS THEM ALL AWAY!!
These series of books are hands down the most comprehensive resource ever written for edible plants. It give nice pictures and CURRENT information on chemical make-up, traditional uses, medical testing and studies, potential food, medicinal, industrial and commercial uses, growing info, distrbution, traditional names and about everything a person would need to know if they wanted to consume or use the plant.
There is a common name index and a scientific name index as well as an index of terms. this is the book we've all been waiting for and WELL WORTH the $200 price tag. simply a phenomenal addition to the library of any serious naturopath, doctor, or student of herbs and plants for practical use.
I just cant say enough good things about this series. Mr Lim has done what no-one has ever done at this level and has included all relevant and useful information from history thru 2012. THANK YOU SIR!!
