5.0 out of 5 stars A "MUST HAVE" for any Botanical Art Enthusiast or Artist, November 25, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Book Of Fruits & Vegetables (Hardcover)
This book, illustrated by Marilena Pistoia, is an invaluable addition to the library of botanical artists or lovers of botanical art. There are 110 paintings depicting 400 plants, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices...all beautifully painted and reproduced. Some of the fruits are so realistic they almost make your mouth water.

The composition and combinations of the fruits and vegetables used in the individual paintings is very imaginative and complimentary in shape, form and colors.

I bought it for the illustrations but the text is very interesting and informative as well, often giving little know facts about the edible plants in our world. It is not a science book...the entertaining text is the perfect compliment to the beauty of the highly accurate and colorful representations of the paintings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fruits and Vegetables in Color, May 22, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Complete Book Of Fruits & Vegetables (Hardcover)
We were searching for a different book and stumbled across this one which, to our surprise, was superior in every way - from the quality of the materials and construction to the brilliant pictures. It's the best of its kind that we have ever seen. It certainly lives up to the description in the Amazon web site.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Complete Book Of Fruits & Vegetables (Hardcover)
I am a decorative artist and this book was recommended as a great source for fruits and vegetables. From what I have seen in the book it will be a valuable asset as reference material.
