If you printed out Herbalpedia, it would fill a bookshelf!
Herbaledia IS an encylopedia. AND, just like any encyclopedia that is extremely huge, you only access it when you need certain information.
Say you are working with Lemon Balm, you would JUST look up that herb. If you needed to, you could print out just that part.
Check out the Lemon Balm sample.

Isn't that huge? The coolest thing is that when I looked up obscure plants in my ecosystem that are in NO other herb books I have, I have FOUND THEM in Herbalpedia with amazing information.
