This book is definitely great for beginners, very good at giving all the essential detail, without overwhelming the reader. Keep in mind the book is directed at those in the UK, and refers to growing conditions there.I've been growing succulents for almost a decade and run a succulent business ([...]). I was personally looking for more information and was disappointed with the knowledge level and UK references, as I am in Southern California.If you are a beginner, I would recommend it as an introduction, with some great pictures.
