Culpeper's Complete Herbal: Illustrated and Annotated Edition Paperback – May 7, 2019

Book is what I expected. Well made and useful

I am an amateur herbalist and while taking a course I learned about the writing of Nicholas Culpepper. His original work was published in 1652 . This edition takes the words of Nicholas Culpepper and brings them to a modern understanding of how to identify and use each of the listed herbs. The pictures are beautifully descriptive and the combination of old English and modern helps take the reader to a time long before themselves! Very easy to understand and fun to read !

Great reference book

I had a hard copy of this book back in the early 90’s and lost on in a move. So happy to find another copy

This book would be great for the budding herbalist. When I started getting into herbalism my reference book to flip through was Grieves' A Modern Herbal and that had a bit more information than I could actually understand. This book puts things more simply, and this would be a great book to flip through to familiarize yourself with many plants uses and for having a reference for treating minor ailments that don't necessarily require a trip to the doctor when you are otherwise healthy.However as a collector of Herbal's, and someone whose favorite person in history is Culpeper, I needed a copy of his herbal. So this was quite a disappointing purchase. I thought Foster's writings (which I am a fan of his aswell) would be in addition to Culpeper's and it would be clear who wrote what. It wasn't.If you are looking for a beautifully illustrated herbal to learn the various medicinal uses of plants, definitely worth purchasing. If you are looking to buy Culpeper's Herbal, you may want to find something else so you know what he actually wrote.

Large well made book

I have many Herbal books. This one is a keeper. Very Nice. Much Info

This is exactly what i needed for my practice, it has lots of info on many kinds of common plants and weeds and things. The pictures are lovely and the old timey wording of the descriptions is so fun to read and explore. HIGHLY recommend.
