An A-Z of over 120 medicinal herbs for all Australians.
This is my favourite beginner’s book. Not because it is basic, as it is not but because of its easy page -per-herb layout. Although there is terminology that may yet be foreign to the beginner the wording used throughout this publication is easy to follow and very personable.

A practical guide to growing and using herbs in temperate Australia and New Zealand
Very nice book. Actually, “nice” is too insipid a word to describe this book. It is comprehensive, it is definitely informative and as usual I love that it is particularly for the Australian and New Zealander reader. Those who know me know that I prefer the use of common names for herbs as I believe it is the ‘common’ people who started the use of herbs and the ‘learned’ folk jumped on the bandwagon a lot later. As much as that is my believe, the Australian Herbal by Penny Woodward is a really good book for those who want to grow their own herbs. Yes, you will have to learn the botanical names, but if you are serious, it will be worth it.
