The three books by C Stapley cover a lot of medicinal and decorative uses for herbs. She runs courses at the Weald & Downland Museum. I bought these ones after being to her "Herbs for Health" day. It's sad to think how much knowledge about the uses of herbs have been lost over time.
Jekka's Herb Cookbook is a really useful book. I bought it at the Hampton Court flower show and she signed it for me. There is a chapter about each herb with a painting of the herb, how to grow it, how to cook wih it and what to do if you have a glut.
