"good to have on the shelf as a general reference. i would have preferred greater standardization of the formatting within the EO profiles--keep the same colored boxes for the same tidbits. it's layout is similar to most DK Eyewitness books. the EO profiles are not in alphabetical order per common names which is another sticking point for me."
"a thorough history of aromatics along with description of each oil by name. Latin names, method of extraction, uses, home use, etc. The only book you need to get you started with aromatics."
