Initial indications (from skim reading it on the way home from the RHS show where I bought it) are that this book has amazing illustrations from a wide range of herbals - many of which are hundreds of years old. It also has in-depth coverage of the development of the herbal.
The authors are Wilfred Blunt - who wrote the much acclaimed book The Art of Botanical Illustration" - and Sandra Raphael(less)

However one of the conclusions I drew while still in the Royal Academy of Arts - standing in the shop and buying this book having just seen a preview of the exhibition - is that the colour reproduction is very poor. I can find no justification for such poor colour printing when it's perfectly feasible to achieve good quality colour printing for art books. Taschen blazes the trail on this and others MUST keep up!(less)

Very funny at the time - partly because I'd not read a book by anybody trying to pretend to be a contemporary middle class teenage boy. I very much liked the way the book worked if you were a teenager but also for adults who had been there, done that and got the t shirt - and probably raised a few of their own! PS My mother also giggled!(less)

Ruth Phillips writes very well - which I already knew from her blog. I thought I might know most of the stories, however I was very wrong! This is a "must read" for all followers of Postcard from provence.(less)

James Gurney's coverage of the topic of colour and light is comprehensive. Plus it is accessible art instruction of a very high order. I've not come across any other book about colour by a practising artist and illustrator which covers this topic in such breadth and depth and makes it accessible as well.
* I've got ones which are more technical - but they're much less accessible.
* I've got ones which are as accessible - but they don't cover as much as he does
* It does not attempt to dumb down or omit important aspects of the way in which colour and light function and interact.
* It articulates very clearly how you can make choices about how to use different features of colour and light in a painting.
* it makes excellent use of images and graphics
This is a book for students and improvers and all those who want to know more about colour and how light and colour interact - in life and in a painting.
I am so confident about the impact of this book that I am happy to predict that if you buy and study this book your paintings will improve!
(Note: You can find my detailed review of this book on my reviews blog Book Review: Color and Light by James Gurney . I was sent a copy of this book to review in advance of publication.)(less)
