This is a useful book for a person wanting to raise herbs for cooking or for use regarding medicinal purposes, despite some slightly awkward writing and a few formatting challenges.What I loved about Growing Herbs Indoors was the inclusion of color photographs and the recipes near the end of the book. Nice touch.Also of use were the tables discussing medicinal purposes following the recipes - I had not known the long term use of licorice is harmful to the liver.The writing, however, doesn't flow quite as smoothly as some other books on the topic, but is okay.Also, early in Growing Herbs Indoors, the authors plug other books they've written. The conventional wisdom is that such plugs should be inserted at the end. For me, though, this was only a very slight nuisance, almost not worth mentioning.Overall, though, I do recommend buying this 63 page booklet, as it addresses the growing and use of herbs in ways that few other Herb books do.
