Do you know any good books about herbs for beginner Vance to read ? Can you please introduce me some ?

I have seen there are so many people trying to run after biology of animals, therefore, I deliberately change my interest into another field which is much dimmer and is called Trees And Flowers. I hope no one will compete with me this time...hmm.

Thanks in advance for your help and for your understanding,
:cool:
