Does anyone use this awesome reference book? I refer to it constantly. I love that it was written some time back and contains charming little side notes in addition to being highly informative.

My 1975 edition is my bible.

There are a number of editions; it's written and published by the good people who make this site available, and I can't recommend it highly enough, especially for sheer accuracy and reliability. You know that the information you're getting is correct.

There are quite a few people here who use various editions of it.

OG interviewed me for a story recently, and I mentioned willow water. The asst. editor thought that was nifty, and asked where I'd heard of it, so I referred her back to their own encyclopedia.:^O

I have the 92 edition and have nearly worn the spine off. Just yesterday I had to pull it out to look up some information.

I just bought a copy on Amazon.com (very gently used) for $0.02 a few months ago - the best $.50 I have ever spent. I must refer to it 3 times a day.
