Not what I was expecting. Only sketchy information given. Pictures in thick black ink and some not very clear. Probably better books out there.

Arrived as ordered but without any kind of plastic covering of the book. I know it’s not P.C. to use plastic, but when it’s raining, books need to be protected.

Dover Press Books in this series are slim, A4, with black and white illustrations and some text.
This title isn’t expansive, but is useful in a succinct and introductory manner.
worth buying.

This is a lovely tactile book. I cannot understand any negative reviews, my copy is clear, with great illustrations and I know it will be a great reference for me.

I study folklore and this book is packed with ancient plant history and illustrations. Interesting and informative for the student, or just a good read.

The quality of the pictures is poor and the letters are missing bits of them. Such a shame.

Easy and pleasant to read. Nice and different gift for someone interested in plants.
