I was in high school and totally into gardening, especially herb gardening. (No particular reason, maybe I didn't like bland food? Maybe it was just something different to enjoy?) I decided I needed to have Gerard's herbal so I went to the library.

The librarian said, "So, you're going to the Renaissance Festival dressed up like an - herb??"

"No. . . ."

If you can't gave the real thing, this is the next best. Cream laid paper. Etching to title page. Almost a facsimile of the extracts from Gerard's Historie of Plants, although the typography is updated.

The 1633 edition revised and enlarged by Thomas Johnson. Containing almost 2,850 plant descriptions and 2,705 superb illustrations, Gerard’s Herbal is a monumental work, the book all modern English herbals are derived from, and the one herbal every serious enthusiast should have in its entirety.
