Herbal Vade Mecum: 800 Herbs, Spices, Essential Oils, Lipids, etc Constituents, Properties, Uses and Cautions
Gazmend Skenderi
The Herbal Vade Mecum is a very good materia medica for the practising herbalist. Uses are given, dosages aren't, so you need to know your plants before you use this book. Beginners might not do all that much with it, except for the teensy little fact that they'd get solid practical sensible cautions for the listed plants instead of the usual overly theoretical overcautious ones.

The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs
Leslie Taylor
I was looking for a good book on Rain Forest Herbs without all the hype that had a least some science it in to complement information about traditional uses. Too many herbal books have either no science behind them or have such reductionist science based on faulty studies and assumptions that the information is useless. It combines traditional use with scientific studies and lots of information about each herb.
