Re: New Book

From: Albert Huntington BALBERTH at yahoo.com> on 2000.03.04 at 17:08:06(4137) I received the B&N Botanica as a present this past Christmas, and I think it's great. Of course it's not all-encompasing, but I haven't yet found a book that I could trade all my other books in for. I think that the book has wonderful pictures, and I've found it a lot of fun to browse, perhaps more so than many other references. If you look closely at the copyright information, it appears to be somehow associated with Australia and New Zealand, perhaps the UK, which explains why it has a somewhat more comprehensive selection of information on Banksia ( 13 species ), Eucalyptus ( 40 entries ) and Aloe ( 36 entries ) than most books I've seen. +More I love the pictures and I like its emphasis on slightly different plant families than the usual. For the price, I would certainly recommend the book... what a deal! --Albert ===== Albert Huntington San Jose, CA U.S.A.
