My books in English: I've written one other book in English. "Practical Herbs", was published in November 2011. It has gotten rave reviews.

My books in Finnish: I've written four books in Finnish. The first two, "Mintusta voikukkaan" ("From mint to dandelion") (Edita 2000) and "Hanhikista kissanminttuun" (From cinquefoil to catnip") (Edita 2001) have been completely impossible to get hold of for years now.
The third, "Käytännön lääkekasvit", was published in November 2010 (and in November 2011 in English as "Practical Herbs").
I published the fourth, "Käytännön lääkekasvit 2" ("Practical Herbs 2") in November 2012.

My book in Swedish: I translated "Käytännön lääkekasvit" to Swedish and published that in May 2011: "Praktiska läkeörter" ("Practical Herbs").
