(*NEW ARRIVAL*) [Elizabeth David) Northcote, Lady Rosalind. The Book of Herbs

Illus. with photographic plates. Pictorial green cloth. Second Edition. London: John Land: The Bodley Head, 1913. Elizabeth David's copy, with her oval bookplate and one sheet of ink notes about herbs and seeds in the book laid-in loose. The Book of Herbs is a comprehensive guide to herbs, their cultivation, and their uses. First published in 1903, this book remains a valuable resource for those interested in herb lore, gardening, and the historical uses of herbs. It offers a blend of practical information and delightful anecdotes that continue to enlighten and engage readers. Fading to covers and spine; foxing, else about very good. From the collection of Jill Norman, Elizabeth David's longtime editor.
