No marketing: concrete ;-)

In essence, this book is a gem in its content.
For the form, novices or uninvolved readers will feel lost and will instead opt for a more affordable work, less detailed, with pictures, anything.

Yet the book, although technical, specifically details the different preparation techniques, different materials and care modes (Eg cream, poultice, infusion, ...) With a little persistence it is easy I think to enter the subject, even drink multiple Internet sources to supplement and propping his understanding ...

The book's structure is well made: several rotary and index (plant disease / symptoms) allow to find what we seek with good efficiency.

Conclusion: for a neophyte use, why not move towards a simpler less comprehensive book; it was not my choice. In all cases it is a reference to own bestiary.
