"That would be awesome- Have you heard of the book 'Medicinal Plants of the Desert & Canyon West'- seemed to be a popular one when running searches. Anything you recommend?"

Medicinal plants of the desert and canyon west is a great book. It has a lot of useful information on different plants and how to prepare them and what to use them for. The only problem is that it is not a great help in identifiying the plants in the field. Edible and medicinal plant of the west by Gregory Tilford is also pretty good but more general. I would definitely recommend the Moore book along with a field guide like plants of arizona by Anne Orthe Epple. I can bring all of these books to the next pdc class if you want to getter a better idea of what they are like.
