Rodales Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs, 545 pages. Huge compendium that has been on my shelf for a while, but I havent cracked it open in at least a decade. This excellent reference is thorough, easy to use and fully illustrated with black-and-white sketches of individual plants and color photographs.

The uses of herbs are further explored in chapters on bathing, dyes, gardening, cooking, healing and cosmetics. Abundant recipes proffer food and drinks, perfumes, toilet waters, poultices and medicinal syrups. $10 in FH.
