Introduction - by Ursula Basch
Welcome to the Herbal Bookstore!
I have been studying, practicing and teaching
herbalism since 1982. Over the years I
have read and bought a number of books on herbs
and herb related topics. In the beginning of my
herbal studies, I bought a number of books with
little or no knowledge about what I was buying.
Sometimes I bought the books on a whim.
Other times the title caught my attention, or
perhaps the book cover was attractive. I
just knew that I loved herbs and wanted to get
my hands on anything that was written about
them. However, I was often disappointed
when I purchased books this way. My best
purchases were made by listening to the
recommendations from experienced herbalists who
knew their subject and could offer advice about
various herbal publications. This is what
I hope to do for you. I have grouped the
titles by subject material. I have also
rated them into three categories: basic,
intermediate and advanced. Some books are
so good that even though they are considered
basic, you might want to add them to your own
herbal library. These books are marked with a
blooming flower like this: 
If you are interested in purchasing any books
listed in the site, you may do so by clicking on
the title. This site is operated in
association with Amazon.com. I have found
Amazon.com to be a reputable, reliable and
efficient company (and they have excellent
prices!). Often times the books
arrive in two days! I have not listed the
prices here, since they change every now and
then.
I hope you find this page helpful. If
you have any questions or comments, you can
