An old discount book from 30 years ago. How to grow and cook with herbs; the cookbook section is very good.

GREAT illustrations and indexes of uses. Some British items/names were a bit confusing to my experience, but nothing insurmountable.

Published in 1980, this book gives tips on establishing a herb garden. Common herbs and their uses are described both for cooking medicines, and cosmetics. There is a fairly large section of recipes for using herbs. A nice addition to the library of the home cook and gardener.

Everything you ever wanted to know about herbs....how to grow, their uses both medicinal and culinary, and some great recipes. It's a great addition to your kitchen cookbook collection.
