Ever since the commonweeder was born in 2007 I have had the honor and pleasure of reviewing many books. I am putting those book reviews on this page so that when you are in need of a certain kind of information, or looking for a gift book, these might be helpful to you. It will take a while to get all the reviews listed with a link to the full review. Be patient.
