Main reason I purchased the book was for the cover artwork initially, The book itself is stunning and exceeded my expectations, looking forward to dig in and learn about plants! Amazing coffee table read, I've learned a lot of diy natural beauty and home remedies for common ailments from this book, The illustrations are stunning and it really does contain a great deal of information, Can't say it's something I would read front to back but I find This is such a stunning book, I bought it from the US instead of Australia as they were published a little differently, and I preferred the US version, I absolutely love this book, it shares a wealth of information about plants and is beautiful too perfect coffee table book, The book arrived in perfect condition, save for a few marks that I could wipe off easily, Really disappointed in the quality it arrived in, Front and back cover are damaged, corners are damaged, marks on the pages, Not what i would expect from paying full price for a new book, I thought this was going to tell me about what plants could do medicinally and it didnt, Referred me to a different book to buy, For a bible I expected details on what plants do, where they grow, what they can be used for, I wanted something like a plant encyclopedia, Angoli rovinati I love browsing this book, It's magical This is a beautiful book, filled with tons of info about botanicals, It provides basic info on botany, recipes using plants, remedies using plants, and using plants in arts crafts, I have shown the book with an," X" sheet of paper behind it in a picture, to show the size of the book, It is not very large, but thick, I highly recommend this book! Please mark if you find my review helpful, Thank you so much!
