The following compressed lists of resources will get you started and on your way. As like attracts like, each item you acquire will lead to another and your personal list of resources will take on a life of its own.

The herb books I recommend to you are all written by adept, hands-on herbalists. I am familiar with their work, and I trust the contents of their publications. They are good teachers and herbal craftsmen who love plants and draw from extensive experience.
