This book would be very interesting from a historical perspective if you wanted to learn about the gathering, cultivation, and use of plants at the turn of the 1900's. AND if you are already familiar with plants and know how to identify them.It  (The Kindel version ) is of little use to somebody trying to learn about plants "from scratch" since with no illustrations,  there is no way to identify what you are looking at / reading about.If you are a plant expert and want to learn some history, by all means, get it.If you are just curious about plants, and their uses, buy a newer volume with color illustrations.Well?Perhaps I was hasty. After all it IS a free download. You can't get hurt...
