From recent-ish Amazon reviews: "The most complete book. This is the one you want. Trust me."; "Fantastic book. I love this encyclopedia, it includes so many awesome plants. I love the flower catalog, which is by common name and very fun and helpful to look through. The encyclopedia section is less useful because you would need to know the scientific name of whatever plant you are trying to look up."; "This book is ENORMOUS and heavy, but for good reason. It is full of everything I can think of that would be useful to know about flower gardens. Beautiful photos and very clear and organized layout. I love it! "
