I RECEIVED A DRC FROM THE PUBLISHER VIA EDELWEISS+. THANK YOU.

My Review: Handsome photos make this a lovely object to possess, but are very much suited to the purpose of handy identification of the plants you're likely to see while in nature. It's also, not coincidentally, a handy way to learn which of your garden "weeds" is actually a useful plant.

I'm very impressed at the inexpensive price...it makes a beautiful small gift for your gardening buddy, as well as anyone thinking of herbal remedy use.

Look at these gorgeous images! The design is so clear, so plainly and attractively thought out that it would be useful outdoors in full sunlight.

The right price for a tree-book gift that looks more expensive than it is.
