I am a beginner in regards to planting/growing succulents. I bought this book and it has helped me tremendously. This book talks about and provides color pictures of many different types of succulents. Also, there is information on propigating, common problems, growing size, preferred temperature, and even how to display different succulents so as to get the most visual pleasure from them. I refer to this book often, and recommend it to anyone wishing to begin a succulent garden. Thanks to this book I now have a beautiful garden!
This book is for plant people and is printed in England. The English have a little different take from the American plant people. The book is rather small, the print is small and so are the pictures. Therefore, it is difficult to read for those who need a larger print. I was a little disappointed in it because of the smallness of the content.
I got this book for an unbelievable low price. It was packed well and sent quickly. However, I'm not certain why the book's title says The New Plant "library". There was a reason it was so inexpensive. Very, Very basic book. I'll probably pass it on to a youngster who is just becoming interested in gardening. Nice photos, but basic like those Golden books on nature we would purchase for our kids. Not a handbook nor Library as title suggests.
This book has lots to offer and share about succulents, it has been a big help in identafying various succulent plants I have gotten from different people and places but knew little about it's care or origin. The seller sent book very quickly and was just as discribed when it arrived. Would buy from again.
I received the book in a timely manner, but for the cost of this item I expected better. The book was about 5 x 7 inches and the type is so small I need a magnifying glass to read it (no exaggeration). The book also had a price tag on it listing the price as $6.95. I paid substantially more. When I pay this much for a book (since I've always gotten a larger, easier read copy in good condition) I was expecting the same. It would have been nice to know the dimensions in advance.
