I have recently begun learning about essential oils - what they are, how they work, etc. In an effort to not overwhelm myself with all the possibilities, I wanted to learn about some core eo's and some recipes in which they are used. For this purpose - as well as for general purposes once I'm more familiar - I definitely recommend this book. The full-color images are gorgeous, the explanations are clear and easy to understand, and I like that each oil is accompanied by just a few recipes. Tourles talks about which oils she insists on *always* having on hand and why, the features of each oil, and much more. I am so impressed with this book based on the advance reader's copy, that I am going to purchase a copy to actually have on hand, as well as to recommend to others who are looking for good books that won't be overwhelming. There are a lot of oils out there, and it's easy to get caught up in the beginning. This book helps to narrow the focus, at least initially, giving a newbie a place to start that makes sense. I definitely recommend!
