An excellent book and an amazing resource, since no comprehensive studies of Ashkenazi herbal medicine practices existed in prior to its publication. I would have preferred more ethnography and narrative, and was a bit disappointed that fully two thirds of the book comprises the materia medica, which is a wonderful resource but not as interesting a read. Perhaps this book will inspire future writing along those lines.
