Each chapter starts with a pretty chapter title graphic and what follows is quite a bit of information about measurements. Plant names, and their uses. Plants and signs of the zodiac. Celtic trees and months. Spells. Etc. It is certainly a very thorough book on the subject, but unfortunately it was also a little dry. I would have loved to have seen some whimsical graphics and tidbits mixed in between everything.
