I'm definitely adding it to my list; since I'm the purchaser on Amazon, it will most likely be a treat for me from me. Thanks for the point about it not being consumed with cactus; that's the reason I put most every succulent book back.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13449390713125491458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-44366334408174568622011-11-23T18:28:39.555-08:002011-11-23T18:28:39.555-08:00Gerhard, in the interest of not having my bookcase...Gerhard, in the interest of not having my bookcase collapse under the weight of the book I think I'm glad there wasn't one photo per species!

The fact that it's much more of a botanical reference than a book for gardeners may not be appreciated by everybody, but I like having a veritable treasure trove of botanical information in one handy volume. While there are 755 photos already, I wish there were even more, at least one per species. Maybe in the next edition...<br /><br />Gerhard<br />:: <a href="http://www.bambooandmore.info" rel="nofollow">Bamboo and More</a> ::Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.com
