Great for general information about selected plants for specific conditions(sun vs shade). Good pictures. Not technical so good for beginner or more experienced home gardeners.

This book has the bones to be good, but misses on a couple counts. First, old eyes are challenged by so much text printed in medium gray font on a light gray background. Old eyes need contrast. Form SHOULD follow function. Second, the photos are predominantly of the blooms, without an overall look at the plant. If I’m shopping for a plant I need to see the overall view of the critter, not a macro shot of a flower. Like I said, a misse dopportunity. Some decent info in the book, especially if you have fighter pilot’s eyes. Not recommended.
