SueThis was a book that I needed. My old one was dated and did not provide the up-to-date information that I wanted.
The book arrived in good condition and on the time schedule that was provided for me. I am pleased with the book and the service that I received.

The book is ok. It has a lot of good information, but not so easy to access. Not so friendly with the common names of plants, so if you don't know the scientific names you have to go by the pictures, and in many cases they are drawings not photos. Again, good infor, but not so helpful for me.

Mary McCabeThis is a very thorough, good gardening book. I have an old one that is about 35 years old. I thought it was time to replace it. This book has everything in it. I know I will refer to it often.
