The book arrived quickly and in very good condition, there was only one little ding on the bottom part of the cover, but for 0.28 I expected much worse. I would use this vendor again for sure.
Illustrated Plant Reference
This book was recommended by the "pharmacist docent" at our recent visit to the Farmers' Museum at Cooperstown. Arranged alphabetically according to common plant names, the book addresses almost anything a person might want to know about the plants including clear photos, descriptions, history and uses. Unfortunately, it is out-of-print.

It was decent
Well, the pictures certainly make it a little easier to identify stuff in the wild, and the dye references, and growing guides are helpful. I am not a very adept gardener so I need all the help I can get. What dissapointed me most was the fact that each herb is limited to a one page section (except for the exotic and poisonous herbs). I was hoping to actually have information on the medicinal uses and at least guidlines on how to prepare them for use. It amazed me that it gives instructions on the harvesting of opium, but has next to no information on the medicinal preparation of plants.

Reviews for "Examining the Cultural Context of the Amulets in the Film"
1. Jane Doe - 2 stars - I was really excited to watch "Amulet" because I heard it had a unique and engaging storyline. However, I was severely disappointed. The movie was confusing and hard to follow. The characters were poorly developed, and I found it difficult to care about what was happening to them. The ending was also extremely abrupt and left me feeling unsatisfied. Overall, "Amulet" was a letdown and not worth the hype.
2. John Smith - 1 star - I cannot believe how terrible "Amulet" was. The plot was convoluted and made no sense. The movie relied heavily on clichés and predictable tropes, leaving no room for originality. The acting was subpar, and I found it hard to connect with any of the characters. It felt like a wasted opportunity and a complete waste of my time. I would definitely not recommend "Amulet" to anyone.

The horror elements were weak and didn't elicit any real scares. It felt like the movie was trying too hard to be mysterious and atmospheric, but it just came across as pretentious and confusing. The ending was unsatisfying and left many unanswered questions. Overall, "Amulet" was a disappointment and didn't live up to its potential.
