I think this is a good little overview for beginners. Sure, it‘s not an “end all, be all” reference to end all references, but it‘s a good place to start that won‘t overwhelm someone that is new and curious. Beautiful photography and great resource list! Fun way to spend a morning off work. 🪴

2/5⭐ Incomplete index, bibliography and recommended readings are behind a (free) signup on a website instead of included in the book, mentions herbs that aren't given a proper profile. Style and formatting seem more akin to a coffee table book than one meant to be used frequently.
