Herbalists and naturopaths still consult it as the definitive reference. More detailed than any modern herbal.

It is important to keep in mind that many of these collections are older and date back to time periods when audio and video recording technology was relatively unadvanced. They may not be in the High Definition that many of us are used to today. However, they are perfect for learning and continuing education programs.
