We are in the 7th year of publication here at
The Essential Herbal Magazine.
The first several years were
filled with wonderful stuff, but the audience was very limited.
Most of those issues sold out long ago. So we took the 15 spring
and summer issues from those 5 years (Mar/Apr, May/June, and
July/Aug), and put them together into a truly fabulous book.
Over 200 pages, sized 8.5 x 11, filled with all the things
readers have come to expect from The Essential Herbal.
Internal pages are black and white, and the book is
paperback bound.
We reworked some of the early stuff, combined things into
reasonable chapters - like "The Stillroom", "The Kitchen", "Just
Weeds", and "Herbal First Aid", and added a few surprises. There
are articles on gardening, favorite backyard remedies, wild
eats, and tons of crafting ideas.
If you are a beginner, you need this book. If you've been
an herbie for a while, you'll love this book!
