I often request to review these type of books because my daughter is very into Wicca and the occult, and I am always looking for unique and interesting gifts for her. This one seemed to fit the bill nicely...

To start, the cover is very appealing to the eye. It is bright, and the title is eye-catching. The book is divided into the following chapters...

-- Introduction
-- Making Your Own Herbal Remedies
-- Internal Remedies
-- External Remedies
-- Cosmetic Uses of Herbs
-- Your Magical Workshop
-- A–Z HERBAL


Each chapter starts with a pretty header graphic, and a quirky fonted title. Unfortunately, that is where the graphic appeal ends. Although this book is chocked full of information and recipes, it lacks in the visual department. When I get a book like this, I don't just want an information dump. I want it to be eye-catching as well. I think the addition of some colorful graphics or photos would have gone a long way in making this book extra appealing.
