"The Complete Medicinal Herbal" by Penelope Ody has an encyclopedia-like section with a write-up on each herb and large color photographs of the plants in fresh, dried, and prepared forms. Excellent photographs also accompany the instructions on harvesting, drying, and making herbal remedies.

One might think this would be an easy project, but i'm finding some problems. The growing methods are not usually discussed in sufficient detail and the processing of harvested herbs can be complicated. Also, the strength of a herb depends to some extent on how it was grown. After sorting through a pile of books, i've concluded that this is going to be a difficult and interesting project. <snip>
