What People Are Saying About Our Books |
The Herbalist's Way"This book is a testament to the healing revolution we all create together. The plants and the Earth and love shine through!"
Aviva Romm Director, American Herbalist's Guild "Herbalist's Way is more than an overview of current herbal practice -- it delves deep into the heart of herbalism and gives the best orientation yet to the person who asks, 'What do I do when I hear the call of the healing plants?'"
Richo Cech Horizon Herbs "You both have created something that is truly a labor of love, a gift to the herbal community and to others searching for a connection with herbs and community."
Deb Soule Avena Botanicals "I just speed-read your book! I couldn't put it down. It's so wonderful. I wish I could make everyone I know read it so that they could understand why I want to follow the path of the herbalist! It's all in there. Bravo!"

The Apple Grower"The Apple Grower will set the standards for organic growers for many years to come. This book raises the difficult questions and answers them honestly. Michael Phillips is a prolific and captivating writer who has walked the walk through his trees."
Steve Page author of The Orchard Almanac "The lure of the apple has been the undoing of many a would-be fruit gardener. But with experience comes wisdom, and nowhere has this wisdom been more generously and articulately revealed than in the pages of this book."
Roger Swain science editor for Horticulture magazine "Michael Phillips bridges the small but precarious chasm between organic and IPM apple growing. This book is full of facts, lore, and a lot of heart and soul."
Chuck Souther Apple Hill Farm, Concord, NH "The Apple Grower is a must read for anyone who grows apples."

A Word from the AuthorsWe fully appreciate it when you choose to purchase your books directly from us, the authors. Frankly it's hard to compete with high-volume booksellers on the Internet which offer promotional discounts as a matter of course. Our royalty amounts to a modest one to two dollars per book on each of these sales. Purchasing directly from us means we earn as much as ten dollars more per book, and seeing as how hundreds of hours go into the writing process, that seems a heck of a lot more reasonable. Better pay in turn helps us to further share our insights into herbal healing and organic orcharding on this website. And you can get those books inscribed by Michael and Nancy, now, live and inspired. Thank you for taking a moment to consider all this. |
