I love Scott's books! They were my first guides into the magick realm. So vey easy to grasp, and very well written and organised. I also recommend:
101 uses for Stinging Nettles by Piers Warren
I also recommend any guides to local/ native flora in you're particular region, as foraging for them yourself is incredibly rewarding, and gives you valuable hands- on experience.

I would also recommend 20,000 Secrets of Tea by Victoria Zak. If you can find it, Herbal Remedies by Non Shaw and Christopher Hedley is a wonderful book as well.

A Taste of Heritage: Crow Indian Recipes and Herbal Medicines by Alma Hogan Snell and Indian Herbalogy of North America by Alma R. Hutchens and Alam Hutchens are two others I would recommend. And pretty much any old herbal that you can find.

Two books that I have found helpful in my practice were "The Art of Shen Ku" by Zeek, and "The Complete Herbal" by Nicholas Culpeper. Both have a plethora of useful herbal information. The first gives a variety of other things such as pressure point stimulation, martial arts, what to do in an emergency, quick palmistry reference, and survival information.

Principles and Practice of Phytotherapy by Scott Mills and Medical Herbalism by David Hoffman. Both are more difficult reads but they offer more tested cures with herbal products than a lot of new aged based books.

Just a note that you may want to take Scott Cunningham's books with a pinch of salt, one of the entries under 'Apple' mentions that Unicorns love apples and you can occasionally see them under such trees munching on fruit.

I'll leave any judgment as to the veracity of that statement up to you.
