This is an excellent, informative book for those who enjoy growing succulents in their gardens. Great to see how many popular plants actually appear in the wild. A keen gardener could then seek to replicate this growing style.

This book has some plants that are not in most older books and make It worth the cost to have even though It does not coast a lot. I would recomend this book to others and has a great price for It like other succulent books

The book coveres a lot of plants, and many specimens in every main group,this is good.The information is very brief. There is not enought information on climate where the palnts grow and rain patteren. The book format is too small and so are the pictures.

A very useful guide to growing and caring for Succulkents of South Africa. I use it daily at my job.

The book is good but the layout of the ebook causes the picture and the text to be on different pages
