3.0 out of 5 stars BIG Disappointment, February 28, 2002
By 
grdnr3 "grdnr3" (MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Besler Florilegium: Plants of the Four Seasons (Hardcover)
While the size and scope of this book is impressive, the quality of the prints is poor, at least in comparison with the wonderful prints found in the book "Botanical Prints From the Hortus Eystettensis" I purchased the Besler Florilegium expecting to find prints of the same caliber but they lack the detail and antique look of the prints found in the Hortus Eystettensis.
If I had a do-over button, I wouldn't purchase this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelent gift for Besler print owners, December 31, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Besler Florilegium: Plants of the Four Seasons (Hardcover)
I purchased this book as a gift for someone who owns a Besler print. In fact, they own the print that is on the cover of this book. The large thick book is a very lovely display of Besler's famous prints, organized by the seasons in which the plants he observed in the garden grew. It would make a good gift to anyone, especially gardeners with large empty coffee tables.
