I suggest for you the book: The Master Book of Herbalism from Paul Beyerl. It is a good book, it says a lot of things based on herbalism.

A Modern Herbal- Mrs M. Grieve

The Complete Illustrated Holistic Herbal: A Safe and Practical Guide to Making and Using Herbal Remedies- David Hoffman

The Complete Herbal Tutor: The Definitive Guide to the Principles and Practices of Herbal Medicine- Anne McIntyre

Bartram's Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine- Thomas Bartram

Grow Your Own Drugs: Easy Recipes for Natural Remedies and Beauty Treats- James Wong

Scott Cunningham specializes in herbalism & also happens to be my favourite pagan author. So I highly recommend Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs. It contains information of around 400 different species of magickal herbs.

I just actually got a copy of scott cunningham's encyclopedia, and it is a great book in my opinion. I just may have to collect full color pictures of the herbs to accompany it, as the book only has black and white drawings of the herbs.

I haven't read many other books on herbalism, but this book also list various health hazards of each herb.(if herbs are poisonous for example) This is a necessary piece of information if you intend on making teas, or consuming them in some other way.

Anything by Gary Null, The Complete Encyclopedia Of Natural Healing in particular.
Someone well suggested Paul Beyrel's Master book of Herbalism.

I also agree that Scott Cunningham's Herbal Encyclopedia is a fantastic book and is easy to read, especially for those who are just starting out on their path in herbalism.

Also, I like the 'Master Book of Herbalism' by Paul Beyerl. Another good one is The Book of Herbal Wisdom: Using Plants as Medicines, by Matthew Wood.

I suggest for Herbalism:

The Wicca Garden: A Modern Witch's Book of Magickal and Enchanted Herbs and Plants (Citadel Library of the Mystic Arts)
by Gerina Dunwich
Or
Magical Herbalism: The Secret Craft of the Wise (Llewellyn's Practical Magick Series) by Scott Cunningham
