4.0 out of 5 stars
A cactus classic,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cactaceae, Volumes 1 and 2 (v. 1) (Hardcover)
The Cactaceae by Britton & Rose is a massive, semi-technical study on cacti. It is in fact the largest collection of cactus descriptions and illustrations ever compiled. It was first published in the early 1900's and has since been an indispensible classic for anyone seriously interested in cacti. Various reprints have been made since the original publication when the four volumes have been bound into two hard cover books. The four volumes (in two books) contain 1048 pages and 1250 black and white plates and illustrations. It goes without saying if one is interested in The Cactaceae, purchasing all four volumes (two books) should be considered in order to have total coverage of the subject .. and to retain the value of the publications if you should decide to sell them at some future date. The discounted price offered here is an excellent buy in today's market on these publications.

A technical book with a wealth of information,
By Alastair Macdonald (alastair@hypermax.net.au) (Southeast Queensland, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cactaceae, Volumes 1 and 2 (v. 1) (Hardcover)
This is really a scientific work, but anyone with a knowlege of "Flora's" will find thier way around these books with ease. Although some of the nomenculture is outdated it is still a "Must" for the serious Cacti Species collector.
