Optional Textbook: The Herbal Medicine-Maker's Handbook: A Home Manual - Author, James Green You can buy this book online. Is is full of great information and I reference sections of this book the the curriculum and base several quizzes on the readings from this book. It is not 100% essential for you to buy the book if you take the course with me, but it will help your understanding of the course materials and it’s also the best book I found that helps you with lab-type ideas for making lotions and potions, tinctures and balms, etc.
