This book is wonderfully entertaining and edifying. Comparatively "light weight" in that it doesn't go into greater depth as to HOW things were used, it's not the most phenomenal book for learning to utilize the plants. However, it's fun and does point the reader in the right direction concerning some of the older used plants.
