We're excited to be participating in this year's Herb Symposium as the virtual bookseller.
Firestorm is a twelve year old bookstore co-operative in Asheville, NC. We've been attending Medicines from the Earth since 2013, so you may have previously met us in person.
In an effort to recreate a little bit of the magic of the conference book booth we've compiled titles below that are recommended by instructors or otherwise of significant interest. We also think that you might find books relevant to your journey in other sections of our catalog, including: Herbalism, Mind & Body, Field Guides, and Mycology. There's a full list of our categories here.
Thank you for choosing to buy from an independent bookstore!
